What is a hyperdoc?
The term HyperDocs was coined by Lisa Highfill, Kelly Hilton, and Sarah Landis.

A HyperDoc is a digital document—such as a Google Doc—where all the parts of a lesson or multiple lessons have been pulled together into one main location. Within this single document, students are provided with hyperlinks to all of the resources they need to complete a variety of tasks and engage themselves in the learning.

How to Build a HyperDoc Lesson – Parts of a HyperDoc
Many HyperDocs follow this basic template that takes students through six steps of a lesson:
Engage: Hook your students, get them engaged, and activate prior knowledge. You might use a fun video, interactive website, or audio recording.
Explore: Link resources, such as videos or articles, for students to explore more information.
Explain: Clarify the learning objective for your students. This is where you could teach a whole group lesson with direct instruction, or add additional resources for students to explore.
Apply: What do you want students to create to demonstrate their learning? Give instructions for the assignment.
Share: Provide a way for students to share their work and receive feedback.
Reflect: Pause for reflection (whole class, think-pair-share, etc.) or link them to a digital way to share their thoughts.
Extend: This portion is great for early finishers. Provide extra activities, additional online resources, or challenge them with an extension assignment to extend their thinking.
