Grade 4 Hyperdocs

Hyperdocs with Mr. Duffy's 4th Grade Class

This week students in Mr. Duffy's 4th grade class had their first lesson in using a Hyperdoc to complete various activities for a reading selection.  Mr. Duffy was excited to transform his lesson with technology and the students were excited and engaged when completing the tasks.  I can tell there will be more Hyperdocs in their future!

What is a Hyperdoc?

 A hyperdoc is a Google Doc or Slides with interactive links that connect to classroom content, expand material, and inspire students to create, collaborate and communicate.  They are engaging multimedia lessons that allow students to build background knowledge, explore subjects, flip their learning, use collaborative online tools or create independent digital projects.
