If you are a Google lover, and would like to find a way to put multiple resources into a single document, this is a great read for you. This book fell into my lap this last fall, and it has totally changed the way I think about putting together units within content areas, as well as creating self-guided inquiry units for my students. The beginning provides the logistics of how to link items, and ideas that could be used such as website links, assessments, etc. The main part of the book is divided into the following sections; Engage, Explore, Explain, Apply, Share, and Reflect. Within each section the book provides ways to use different apps, websites, and resources that match the goal of a particular activity and/or standard.
The HyperDoc Handbook also outlines how hyperdocs connect to the 4 C's, ISTE Standards, and the SAMR model. Teacher talk aside, this book is fantastic because it gives real examples that have been used by teachers. It also shows a huge variety of apps and websites that can be used for a variety of topics to enhance your lesson in an easy to follow format. I can't say enough about this book. I highly recommend this read!
The Hyperdoc Handbook is available for purchase from Amazon.
