Since moving to remote learning, I have found the use of Hyperdocs to be very helpful.

*I am an elementary school librarian and I really appreciate the work put into this template.
*Full integration of one or more information literacy strategies with subject content.
*Collaboration between SLMC and teachers can be added.
* This method is easy to follow.
*Strengths: This template can be used across multiple grade levels. It is easy enough to follow.
*Opportunities: This is a great tool for the SLMC and teacher to collaborate.

This resource is a research model. It refers to the model as a hyperdoc although contains no hyperlinks which could be confusing to those not familiar with hyperdocs.
*literacy strategies with subject content are inferred as it involves research on topic to answer an essential question.
*Collaboration between teacher and SLMC can be added
*This resource is just a general outline of a research design
*More information on the eWISE research model would make this resource more complete

As a former elementary and middle school SLMC, I can appreciate the adaptability of this template to fit kids of many levels.

Full integration of one or more information literacy strategies with research

Collaboration between SLMC & teachers can be added

Strengths: this resource helps students to organize their research questions and thoughts.

This resource incorporates student reflection and critical thinking skills.

*I am a middle school librarian and I really appreciate the simplicity and concise nature of this research model. My district had adopted the Big6, which I sometimes find unnecessarily repetitive. I also like that there is an evaluation piece for each stage rather than having it in its own "box" at the end of the template.
*Partial integration of one or more information literacy strategies by giving students the research questions and resources.
*Collaboration between SLMC & teachers can be added. There is no explicit note referring the educator to collaborate with the school librarian.
*This template is an excellent place to start and has the potential to be an interactive resource for students once it is customized for a specific project. It is visually appealing and gives the educator a great reference to make sure all elements of the research process are addressed.
*This resource would be improved by guiding teachers to more links or resources explaining the eWISE model. and to resources explaining how to create an engaging hyperdoc. An example of a research project using this template would also be really helpful.
