Genial.ly: Student Engagement for the Win!
First I am going to start by saying everyone’s favorite word: FREE! I have used Genial.ly for years and have enjoyed the features included in the free version. There are so many options and they do not save the amazing stuff for the premium accounts.
Now that I have your attention, would you like to know what it is?? Genial.ly is one of my go to web tools to create engaging, interactive experiences for students. The great thing about this tool is it replaces and combines a lot of other web tools we have used in the past all in one place so you are not hunting down that interactive lesson you made wondering which tool you made it in. In one place you can create an interactive image like ThingLink and much, much more: Interactive Presentation, Video Presentation, Didactic Unit, School Calendar, Quiz, Quiz Hidden Image, Learning Landscapes, Interactive Image, Magazine Dossier, Interactive Infographic, Timeline, Follow the clues, and a Board game.
Interactive learning has never been easier and more varied! Students often get tired of the same tool used over and over! Wow them with pre-created lessons that you can remix to fit your needs. You do not need design experience because Genial.ly includes a lot already made for you!
Some of my favorite uses:
Gamification:
Student Choice Board

They have Google Sign in and other amazing sign in options depending on what your workplace or district uses.
I especially like their YouTube channel. Anytime I need to learn how to do something on Genial.ly, they have created a video! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtq6w3zpUc5tQYEC6Q8pImg
