Are you tired of using PowerPoint to present classroom content? Are your students also tired of traditional teaching methods? Under the trend of online education, enhancing learning engagement through interaction is becoming increasingly important, but traditional teaching tools seem to no longer meet teaching needs.
A tool from Spain provides us with more ideas. Its name is Genially, and the meaning of the word itself expresses happiness, implying the richness and joy of its function. Genially is a multi in-one design website specifically for creating dynamic and interactive activities, and offers thousands of templates to choose from. Of course, in addition to using templates, you can also directly create posters, infographics, games, and more from scratch. In addition, Genially has thousands of visual effects, including vectors, image libraries (including well-known libraries such as Unsplash, Giphy, and Pixabay), maps, and more, helping you quickly design interactive elements or add dynamic effects. After your work is completed, you can also turn it into a mini website, a product catalog, or other interactive spaces by adding buttons, or by inserting images and community posts, make the overall design interface more eye-catching and interesting! Meanwhile, Genially also supports multi person online writing, which promotes cooperative learning among students. Compared to Kahoot!, Genially focuses more on creating different forms of content, not just games.
