Hyperdocs: Interactive History Lesson

This is an example of an interactive lesson done by @slogue89 in Google Slides. It's called a hyperdoc because it links out to a number of other tools including Google Docs and Peardeck.

You can search for more examples on Twitter (you do not need a Twitter account to do this.) using the hashtag #hyperdocs

My Maps for Historical Timelines

This activity asks students to provide descriptions of various location points of the Civil War. The places are plotted on a collaborative map (through Google Forms and Sheets). Students then add photographs with citations to the map. 

In this activity, students used Forms, Sheets, and My Maps to make a map of the Civil Rights Movement events that they were studying.

Padlet

Padlet is the easiest way to create and collaborate in the world. It works like a sheet of paper where you can put anything (images, videos, documents, text) anywhere, from any device (pcs, tablets, phones), together with anyone. It can be used for everything from teaching, brainstorming, note-taking, website publishing, bookmarking, selling goods, and blogging.
