Earth Day 2021 HyperDoc

 

Last week I shared a collection of resources connected to Earth Day and I promised that I would share any lessons or ideas I created connected the resources. I am planningto use Pear Deck and Google Slides to facilitate a student centered HyperDoc connected to Earth Day. For another class, I am going to use one of the Google Applied Digital Skills Earth Day Activities.

A HyperDoc is an interactive Google Doc that replaces the worksheet/lecture method of delivering instruction. For this Earth Day Activity, I am using Google Slides and Pear Deck. 




I’ve minimized the instructions in the slide deck because I plan on working through this with my students. If my students were completing this without my help, I would include additional instructions in Google Classroom to help them work through this presentation at their own pace. 

If you don’t plan on using Pear Deck, here is a copy of the slide deck without Pear Deck.

If you have any questions or need any help, let me know. Also feel free to copy/modify this activity and as always if you have any suggestions or feedback, let me know.

The second is full of some incredible resources to help students research a topic related to Earth Day.

All About Me - Heart Maps to Start the Year

I am always looking for creative ways to get to know my students. I also love creative ideas that we can use to introduce them to some of the tools we use throughout the year. The past several years I have modeled our use of Padlet with a 7 Pictures – All About Me Project. This year I was inspired by  Marwa Elkelani to try something a little different. We are going to start with some Heart Maps and get some practice with Google Drawings or Google Slides. A heart map is a visual map that uses drawing, text, shapes, and images to share feelings, people and places you love, memories, experiences, and more. These can be created on paper or digitally. I think Canva , Adobe Express , Google Drawings, or Google Slides could all be used to facilitate the creation of these digitally.
