A Closer Look at "Genially"

Genially is a really powerful website-based tool for creating fun presentations and animated quizzes. It's not an app, it's on a website.

Lots of templates to choose from to get you up and creating FAST.  I use another similar tool called "Powtoons," though its learning curve seems a bit steeper than Genially.

Originally created for teachers, there's no reason why older kids couldn't be taught to use it. Make their animated presentations of a Bible story, add quizzes for others in the class to take.

The FREE version allows unlimited creation, but you can't download them for viewing later. Instead, you save your creations for viewing on the Genially website (which you can share a URL to so people can view it from their other devices, like parents at home on their phones).

Lots of point and click actions to create your presentations. Check the video below of a Tech Teacher's YouTube overview of Genially.

Below is a screenshot of their animated quiz creation tool (one of many). I was immediately drawn to their "gamification" templates, which are different ways to present fun quizzes and facts.

In the online version, the objects in the quiz are moving.

Here's a pretty good "overview" from an independent Tech teacher. Lots of good ideas here, some a little "201" instead of 101.
