=Student Learning Activity: Create Vocabulary Cards=

**Lesson: Use Google Presentation to Build Vocabulary Cards**
In this activity students use the template found at the bottom of this post to guide the learning. The template includes formatting which allows students to focus on content rather than the technology. An added bonus of this template is that it includes a ** Help Page ** with links to resources and video tutorials about how to complete certain tasks when using Google Presentation.
