CJUSD CampEd 4

We have to ask questions in today’s classroom that can’t be googled. Why? Because any question that can, requires no critical thinking or problem-solving skills to solve. Join Travis Allen as he paints a vision for what learning could look like when students are challenged to find their own problems to solve and take ownership of their learning.

Have you heard about HyperDocs and wondered what all the hype is about? This session is an introduction to the concept of HyperDocs. HyperDocs are innovative digital lesson designs that will completely shift your classroom to a student centered learning environment. Once you start creating HyperDocs, you will never write lesson plans in a spiral plan notebook again. Warning: HyperDocs are for educators who are already using Google Apps, and are ready to take tech integration to a transformational level. During this session, we will: Define a HyperDoc, Explain theory and pedagogy behind digital lesson design, Provide templates to copy and personalize, Explore HyperDoc examples and various packaging options, Discuss blended learning options and models for implementation.

Ready to learn how to create HyperDocs for your classroom? In this session, we will take a close look at all the design features of our favorite HyperDoc packaging tools, Google Docs and Presentations. Follow a step by step tour of both applications to create visually engaging digital lessons, while processing the decisions we make when designing lessons. Learn basic graphic design techniques such as color relationships and font pairings. In Docs, learn how to insert tables, change cell colors, modify borders, redesign page backgrounds, and examine the use of images. Once the secrets of the HyperDoc Design school are unlocked, you will be able to personalize your own brand of digital lessons.
