Multimedia text sets are collections of content that you can curate, package, and efficiently push out to students. Use text sets to transform classroom instruction cycles of learning. This shift in thinking is the gateway to creating HyperDocs and lessons in which students explore content before teachers deliver direct instruction. Participants will experience how students can explore and learn content and how teachers can package and deliver instruction by combining the use of text sets and various instructional strategies. Students will love this inquiry approach and teachers will be inspired by the depth of students knowledge. Take a look at how using Google apps and various web tools for packaging and workflow can greatly enhance your instruction by maximizing the time you have in the classroom. Each participant will design a multimedia text set and leave the session with new thinking about how to effectively enhance digital literacy.

Join us for HyperDoc Design School! Come with an idea for a lesson to create and walk away with a HyperDoc. Take a close look at all the design features of our favorite HyperDoc packaging tools, Google Docs, and Slides. This session will include a step by step tour of both applications to create visually engaging digital 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 reimagine images. Elevate Presentations to a whole new level by designing with shapes and slide carnival templates. Once the secrets of the HyperDoc Design school are unlocked, you will be able to personalize your own brand of digital lessons.
