This session will take a look at how using Google Apps for packaging and workflow can greatly enhance your instruction by maximizing the time you have in the classroom. We will share a ton of examples on how text sets can be used to enhance student learning. Each participant will leave the session with new thinking about how to effectively integrate digital instruction, along with multiple lessons and ideas for use in any classroom. You will even have a chance to develop your own!

* Investigate publishing possibilities including slides as an e-pub tool as well as inexpensive printing options.
Join us for HyperDoc Design School! During this session we will share methods of creating digital lessons, and then jump in to create your own. You can choose to “file>make a copy” of a template, “remix” someone else’s HyperDoc, or start from scratch. Become a designer, and start implementing transformative lessons in your own blended learning classroom. Once the secrets of the HyperDoc Design school are unlocked, you will be able to personalize your own brand of digital lessons.
