Hyperdocs #1: How do you currently design and deliver your lessons?

Now that we have more access to the Internet, and we have such wonderful tools to use in lessons - tools that can take our learners further than they ever thought they would go, it is time for us to relook at our lesson planning.

How do you currently create and deliver your content?
Do you stand in front o the class and give a lecture?
Do you use photostated worksheets?
Do you use the text books?
Do you plan what you are going to do on a lesson plan?

Perhaps you plan and write out your lesson plan thoroughly using a pre-determined template.

Teacher Toolkit designed a very effective 5 minute lesson plan that was soon used across the world because it saved a lot of time.

This is the five-minute toolkit filled in.

These three lesson planning ideas would probably work well in a classroom situation where paper, pen and textbooks are used. It is not that any of these are wrong. It is just that in this age of digital exploration, are our traditional methods of lesson planning and delivery sufficient?

• Are they easy to distribute?
• Can our learners work from themDo they create a sen?
• Do they provide how tos for new tools or links to amazing ideas?
• Do they get out learners thinking and exploring?
• Do they create a sense of excitement in the lesson?
• Can they be used at home or school? 

A consideration of all these questions has caused me to think about using Hyperdocs. We'll find out more about Hyperdocs in the next blog post "Hyperdocs #2: What is a Hyperdoc?"
