I finally decided to use HyperDocs in my classroom. I decided for my first time, I would adapt from one that someone else had made. Since we've already been working on equations, I used this one on Solving Two-Step Equations and changed a few things for my classes. However, I didn't change nearly enough. There were image issues with Padlet, so I eventually had the students add their copy on to the assignment in Google Classroom. For some reason, when you make a copy of a document, though, Google defaults to any gmail account you have logged in instead of your school account, so students had to share with themselves in order to attach through Google Classroom.
I LOVED the idea of them creating their own equations as well, but many students had a hard time dragging the items around and spent a great deal of their time working on that.
In two (minimum day schedule) class periods, most students were able to finish, but I wasn't able to assign problems to solve yet due to all of the "technical errors."
For next time, I would to make the fridge document attached in Google Classroom from the get-go, with a copy made for each student. This way I can also comment on their work as it's in progress through Google Classroom.
I plan on trying to modify it to be easier for students to move, maybe by making the pieces larger. I would also make this with harder deadlines, such as "Your 4 questions must be completed today, and tomorrow you'll be solving someone else's problem."
