Did we just say Ditch Summit video?!?

Yes indeed!

Were you a fan of this December's Ditch That Textbook Digital Summit -- the
free online conference for teachers?

If so, you'll LOVE the surprise in today's email!

But first ... a quick set-up ...

Have you heard about HyperDocs?

They're these AMAZING digital learning frameworks -- created out of Google
Docs. (Or Slides. Or other things.)

They're student-centered.

They're self-paced.

Teachers from K-2 up to high school are using them with success!

Oh, and you can create them for FREE -- and copy other people's HyperDocs
creations for free, too.

Want to see what all the hype is about? You'll have to check out today's
post. Karly Moura, the Ditch That Textbook blog editor and I did the
following:

   - We examined 14 successful HyperDocs.
   - We found exceptional example activities inside each.
   - We identified a key digital tool.
   - We put our finger on what makes them work.

Even if you don't use them in HyperDocs, there are LOTS of ideas you can
start using in class right away here!

"These HyperDocs sound really interesting," you may say. "But I need a
crash course on the basics."

We've got you covered! How about a mini-course by all three creators of
HyperDocs themselves?

<https://DitchThatTextbook.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=89ebb262831c898b1fdbd985f&id=6362e244ad&e=06a4a199f2>

We're going to start releasing one video presentation from a past Ditch
That Textbook Digital Summit monthly.

This month: it's all about HyperDocs!

Consider it yet another benefit of being an email subscriber to Ditch That
Textbook.

(We try to make it clear that we like you a lot. Can you tell?)

presentation on HyperDocs!

*(If I could have picked one NOT to share, it might have been this one ...
ONLY because my computer crashed in the middle of it and I disappeared for
a few minutes! The HyperDocs ladies were pro's, though, and you couldn't
hardly tell! When you watch the video, see if you can catch it!)*

to Twitter for educators

Being connected on Twitter changed my teaching career.

It helped me find great ideas. New digital tools. Teaching strategies.

When I struggled, there were people there to lift me up.

Ready to try Twitter -- but need a boost to figure it out?

Consider yourself boosted. :)

Sean Fahey and the aforementioned Karly Moura created a FREE ebook called
"A beginner's guide to Twitter for educators."

It's full of the basics AND instructions on how to do Twitter chats.

In that post, you'll also find tips from the #DitchBook Twitter community
about how to make the most of Twitter for educators.

Check it out and level up your Twitter game. You'll be glad you did!
