This is Jennifer Gonzalez welcoming you to episode 70 of the Cult of Pedagogy Podcast.

In this episode we're going to learn about HyperDocs and how they can transform the way

you teach.

If you've never seen a HyperDoc, let me try and describe it to you.

In its most common form, it's a lesson or unit written on a Google Doc, which is basically

Google's online version of Microsoft Word in case you don't know.

The doc usually has some kind of a chart on it.

In that chart are all of the instructions for the parts of the lesson.

It includes some kind of introduction or an anticipatory set, some kind of direct instruction

where students learn something new, some kind of application, and possibly an assessment

and extension or a creative activity.

For every part of the lesson, there is also at least one link that takes the student

to a video, an article, a collaborative document, or some other interactive online tool.

The whole lesson is contained in one package, typically designed for students to work through

on their own and at their own pace.
