Google Certified Educator Level 2: How To Create Interactive Flashcards in Google Slides for Studying?

A teacher wants students to create flash cards for their upcoming exam where one slide has a word and the other slide has the definition. What action would the teacher have students complete in Google Slides to create these flash cards?

Have students hyperlink Slides to each other.

Building interactive flashcards in Google Slides relies on hyperlinking specific slides together. Students place a vocabulary word on one slide and the corresponding definition on the next. By linking the text or a shape on the first slide directly to the definition slide, clicking the word instantly jumps the user to the answer. Adding a simple “back” button on the definition slide links the user to the previous screen, perfectly mimicking the physical flip of a traditional flashcard. This setup transforms a standard presentation into a custom, self-paced study tool.
