I had heard of Hyperdocs but it was down my priority list and I hadn't investigated what they were. When I was finally exposed to Hyperdocs I was hooked and went back to my office to watch Youtube videos and learn more. My Hyperdoc exploration culminated in me creating a NCAA Basketball Tournament focused Hyperdoc for my 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students. My Hyperdoc had my students read about the NCAA organization and the history of the men's and women's tournaments, watch a video about some current events/ethical issues in college athletics and then write a persuasive argument essay, read a few articles written by college basketball players, explore some of the colleges that were participating in the tournament and then present their findings in Padlet, and learn about a few historic figures in both men's and women's college athletics and then reflect in Flipgrid. I had 7 different activities in all connected to my Hyperdoc but I gave my students choice over their learning by only requiring them to do 5. I loved seeing the choices my students made and which activities they gravitated toward. It was powerful watching my students share in Padlet what they learned about the different colleges and what they may be interested in for their eventual college choice. I also loved seeing some of my more quiet students choose to verbally explain their learning in Flipgrid. I would have never prescribed that activity for them and it surprised me when they chose that for themselves. That is the power of student choice!]]> 2018-11-29 15:27:41 UTC https://padlet.com/wpmatthews/m8r1bps71zkx/wish/309345688 wpmatthews https://padlet.com/wpmatthews/m8r1bps71zkx/wish/309814005 Based on my experience I think the power of Hyperdocs isn't in just linking information to share with your students, but rather the opportunity for them to connect with information and then also have different options where they can present their learning while also connecting with their peers. Hyperdocs with a variety of activities and choice over those activities will be way more engaging for students!]]> 2018-11-30 15:23:49 UTC https://padlet.com/wpmatthews/m8r1bps71zkx/wish/309814005
