Get Linked Up


Are you tapping into the power of the hyperlink? Over the past few months I’ve been trying to understand this notion of a hyperdoc. At first, I was like what’s the big deal? Well it’s a big deal.
A hyper doc is a Google Doc with hyperlinks embedded to resources. This is a simple way to begin integrating technology into instruction. Start by identifying resources that are beneficial to the lesson standard being taught. Secondly consider the order that you want to put the resources together, using tables will be very helpful for organization. To add the hyperlinks that are needed simply highlight the text that needs to go to the link and click on the chain icon in the insert menu.
Resources that are helpful include videos, web pages, even your own resources such as slides.
Here’s an idea for Google Slides…
Create a slideshow and embed link that send students to different slides. It gives you a little added boost for differentiation. To do this, add your image or text, click on insert then link, and select slides in this presentation.
As you consider ideas for the beginning of the school year, try getting linked up.
