November is Native American Heritage Month, and our blog post topic this week is hyperdocs, so I decided to join the two together for this assignment. There are a lot of resources available to find hyperdocs that cover Native American heritage, as well as Native American history. I chose a fairly simple hyperdoc to blog about. The reason I chose this particular hyperdoc is because even though it is simple (designed for 3rd grade students), there is still a wealth of information and the hyperdoc still requires students to be creative, think outside the box, and use their tech skills and knowledge to complete the assignment.

One of the links on this hyperdoc brings students to a link where they can learn about the culture of different Native American tribes, as well as about the languages of different tribes! This link shows so many more Native American tribes than I ever knew existed.

Through this one hyperdoc, I was able to access maps to see where different tribes are located. I clicked on a link in the hyperdoc, clicked on another link once I opened the original link, then was able to open a map for the Koyukon tribe. It was so easy and so informative.

Check out this picture dictionary of Ahtna tribe animal words.

I wish I had the space to write about all the available links on one simple hyperdoc that was designed for 3rd graders, but I think you get the idea. I hope you click on the links I provided so you see just how valuable hyperdocs can be.
