Multimedia Text Sets - Explore, Explain, Apply & Reflect


Conferences always get me excited about new ideas and technology that is being used to engage and help students grow their minds.  Attending several sessions led by Lisa Highfill (co-author of The HyperDoc Handbook) did just that!   I attended a HyperDoc sessions using Google Maps and another one on Multimedia Text Sets.  Both sessions focused on helping students not only to explore and create but Multimedia Text Sets are being used to help students synthesize information, develop an opinion and back it up with evidence.  I was also able to take with me with some great resources to create my own.

As with any hyperdoc or multimedia text set, you will need to make your own copy and then create some of the links so they go to your Google Document, Answer Garden, Seesaw, Padlet, or whatever you have created to gather ideas, questions, answers, etc.  You will also need to change the sharing on them to make them available for students.  All the resources also need to be viewable by students so talk to your friendly ITRT  to see how the youtube videos are viewable by students at school.  All other links were viewable by students at the time of their creation but of course that can always change so check them frequently.

Below are links to help you create your own and one that I have created for the End of the Year Fun focusing on Amusement Parks and Being Kind.
