Digital Notecards
Need to create notecards for a research paper? Digital notecards are easy to create with Google Presentation. Use the Research tool in Google Presentation (Tools / Research) to investigate your topic. You have the option to filter your results just as you would in a Google search bar. In addition, you can select the preferred citation format.
Web pages of information may be previewed while working. Since these are notes, parts of the webpage may be copied and pasted into the note slide. The link to that source may be copied to the slide as well. For quotes, it may be helpful to go ahead and add the citation.
For copyright free images, make sure to select “Free to use, share or modify” filter. The link of the image automatically comes with the image selected.
You can add as many slides (notecards) as you like and be able to access them just like any other Google document.
