Teaching Vocabulary with Keyword Searches
https://www.techlearning.com/tl-advisor-blog/class-tech-tips-classroom-tips-for-teaching-vocabulary-with-keyword-searches

The original idea detailed in the link above, shows a method of teaching vocabulary words visually with Adobe Spark. However, if I were to use this method, I would most likely modify this to use Google Image search. Mainly because my school district does not have Adobe Spark.

To accomplish this, I could use one of two image search tools from Google,

#1) Go to images.google.com and have students search a vocabulary term.

#2) Have students search for images directly within G suite using Google Docs image search.

See how to search for an image with Google Docs at the following link: https://www.bettercloud.com/monitor/the-academy/how-to-search-for-and-add-free-images-right-within-google-docs/

Example Activity Using this Tool

Have students create a google doc and type out their Vocabulary words. I would limit this list based on how much time I allot for this activity. In this example, I am doing this as a bell ringer so I have limited the list to 5 words.

Then have students search for an image that helps define the term, within Google Docs. I would also have the students type a sentence justifying their choice of image for the term.

Here is my example

What will technology look like in 2017?

By
Welcome to 2017! What will 2017 bring, in terms technology? There are many predictions being made about what will happen this year. Here are some of the common predictions for technology of 2017. Virtual Reality will not be as popular as Augmented Reality Trump will have an impact, but what does this mean? 2-in-1 Computers will be on the rise Hackers and Cyber attacks will improve More Smart Devices will be sold (Smart Homes, Cars, Watches, and other devices)  Augmented Reality The common theme of what 2017 will offer, seems to be more of what 2016 offered. Augmented reality was shifted to the forefront of American culture last year as Pokemon Go rose and fell in a short time span. Virtual reality did not get off to the start expected of the "next big thing," in terms of product sales. This has caused some to take pause and re-evaluate virtual reality's future. However, many sources agree that virtual reality is not going away quite yet, if at all.
