Thanks to Paula Cristina Mota Ferreira Léo from Agrupamento de Escolas Gil Paes, Portugal for recommending this tool.

Paula has a degree in languages (Portuguese and French) and has been teaching for over 30 years. She has also taught ICT. She has a master’s degree in Educational Technologies. Her students are aged between 15 and 18 and she also trains adults. She has always used technology in her classes, especially collaborative tools. She currently has a vocational education class and is the coordinator of several projects (erasmus VET, School Digital Development Action Plan).

For the teacher, using Genially allows them to create interactive and dynamic presentations, which can help keep students’ attention during lessons; collaboration in the preparation of work; variety of resources; creativity. These benefits result in more effective and positive teaching for students in a number of ways: collaboration and cooperation, autonomous learning and the use of multimedia resources can help students retain information for longer, as visual content tends to be more memorable than purely textual content, i.e., more effective learning.
