Learn to Create - Create to Learn
I love being an educator and I am always excited to return to school after a break, but for some reason don't think most of my students always feel the same way. In an effort to reconnect with my students after a break, I like to do something more than just review for our final exam or jump right into new content.
Today I wanted to share a HyperDoc designed to help students reflect on 2020 and set goals for 2021.
Feel free to make a copy of of the document and modify it for your students. I will also share my updated "One Word" 2021 HyperDoc soon.
If you want to use this with your students here are a few tips to help customize this document.
- In the "Reflect" section, I would check out the linked picture sites to make sure everything is ok for you students. You can always create your own slide deck or site with images you want students to see.
- If you want to use the shared slide deck in the "Reflect" section, make a copy or create your own slide deck and change the link to allow students to access your copy. You can also make a copy of the deck and post it to your LMS and remove the link altogether from the HyperDoc.
- You should create your own Padlet or even "Remake" the linked Padlet for your students. This gives your control of the privacy and who can access.
- In the "Share Your Voice" section, create and link you own Flipgrid to the HyperDoc. Flipgrid has some great features including integration with Google Classroom to ensure student privacy.
- I've included some of our essential tools in this HyperDoc to get my students reengaged in Padlet, Adobe Spark, Google Earth, and Flipgrid to start the new year. If you have favorite tools that you use regularly with students, consider replacing the existing tech resources with your own.
Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions connected to this HyperDoc.

This is amazing. I love to have my students look and plan for the new year, but didn't have them do any reflecting. This is a year that makes refelcting necessary. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking a look. I hope your students enjoy this.
DeleteThanks so much for this. Hard to admit, but this makes a January return less daunting!
