Genially: A great tool to create slideshows!


Hello everyone!
In this post I'm going to talk about online support slideshow tools for presenting content in class.

Before I started working on this topic in class I knew some slideshow tools like Prezi  and Powtoon which are really useful when creating a presentation in a creative way.

However, I must admit that because of this topic I've discovered a fantastic tool:Genially. Genially is a really good tool to create our own CLIL materials and present the subject content to our students in a funny way. It’s a tool to create presentations with animations, different templates and stickers. It has a wide variety of functions so you can create slide shows, video presentations, presentations of teaching materials, interactive images, games, quizzes, posters, maps, invitations, infographics and even CV! and the good thing about this is that there are pre-designed templates that you can easily work on.
Another thing I really liked and which I think is very useful is that, while you create the presentation on the website, you have a window where you can search and add images directly from Pixabay (The bank of images I talked you about a couple of post ago). It's great! Also in the presentations you can add videos and music. I’m sure my students are going to love these presentations.
I have to admit that I haven’t been able to discover completely the tool yet because it has a lot of features and functions but I hope to do it little by the little because it is a very interesting tool.
Here you can see the first presentation I’ve made with Genially. It’s a presentation of the plants for second graders with slides for presenting the content, I also add a slide for activate the previous knowledge and another one with a small activity as a review.
To make it I used a genially template which I modified. I know I still have a lot to improve since it's my first presentation but, of course, it will not be my last.
I hope you liked it! See you in the next post!
