How do you engage students in exploring concepts and vocabulary?
When you need to focus on learning and esploring vocabulary, one of the best methods for many learners is to create and explore a set of flashcards. These flashcards can be created on paper, digitally, or sometimes even purchased.

Google Slides
When I do go digital, one of my favorite ways to create flashcards digitally is with Google Slides.
I first explored this idea after reading Julie Smith’s post, “Easily Create and Randomize Digital Flashcards in Google Slides“. Slides Mania also has a great template for creating flashcards, “Flashcards template for Google Slides and PowerPoint.“
Google Autodraw
Autodraw has always been one of our favorite tools to get students creating digitally. I really like having student sketch ideas, and Autodraw is a great digital tool to get students creating and thinking critically as they design flashcards. The idea is that one side contains the concept / definition and the other side has images connected to idea.
Another great idea is to use Book Creator, which has a built in connect to Autodraw.
