Why/How hyperdocs should be used in the classroom

What are HyperDocs?

-       Hyperdocs are interactive digital lesson plans that run through Slides, Google Docs, or other platforms to create an interactive, engaging, and student-centered learning experience. This gives the student the ability to learn and collaborate at their own pace.

How does this Work?

-       Hyperdocs are quite simple to use: First you come up with an interest or a hook, resources that can be explored from that. Their students can show their understanding and put their understanding on the topic in any creative way. To end it all it needs is reflection and sharing, encouraging all who see it to give feedback on what they have done or learned.
