It is quick to load and easy to edit from a small screen. This usability on a mobile device (ie Phone) means that almost all students in a class can access and participate with the material. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-4fc3f8e1 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-4fc3f8e1 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"has-ubc-senary-blue-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\">I have used Genially before with students to have them make up Escape Rooms about a woman from the Bible for Religion class. By having them make the game and then playing the others, they were consistently learning and participating with the material. The students were able to choose and customize a template easily and hardly needed some extra instructions to help them to get going. The rewarding part was seeing students excited to try out their creation and see their friends interact with something they made. When students were playing the game and got frustrated, they would try and try again, then when they finally got the answer right, they would shout, &#8220;Yes, I Got It Right!&#8221;. This increased the work they did and levelled up their learning because they didn&#8217;t just quit (which often has when students are playing Kahoot and they didn&#8217;t get answers right).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ubc-senary-blue-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, students are always trying to figure out ways to make their presentations more engaging and go above and beyond, Genially is a perfect tool for that. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-4fc3f8e1 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#cafdf8\">For teachers, Genially offers a great variety of customizable and existing materials to make learning for students fun and engaging. While Kahoots, Plickers, and Blookets do great jobs when it comes to quizzes, there are so many more ways to test student knowledge with Genially. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#cafdf8\">Genially&#8217;s different customizable options means there is something for everyone, including the tech wizzes and the novice tech teachers. While it does take some time to learn a new program and put all the corresponding pieces and links together, if you are already spending all your time creating generic Powerpoints, it might as well be something interesting that the students like. It is worth it to spend the extra time at the beginning to learn something new, than to stick with the same old thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, I believe that Genially has the power to transform student&#8217;s approach to learning and presenting their learning and will help teachers gamify their learning to a different level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-524f8de7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Question: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you used Genially before?
