This site requires the user to sign up for a free account. Genially offers many options when creating presentations, including various modes, like presentation mode or even an illustrated video mode. I used the presentation mode to create a list of must-read spooky books for October. There were many templates to choose from along with many different modes. I used a spooky themed template to showcase my short list of spooky books. I attempted to add spooky background music, but found that I needed to have a premium subscription in order to access that feature. I should have used the spooky illustrated video template, then it would have had sound automatically. There are many free features on Genially that could be useful for presentations or more. I like the gamification option and I could see that feature being used to create a game about books read\u2014maybe like a summer reading accountability piece. Check out my October\u2019s Must Read Spooky Books presentation below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-genially wp-block-embed-genially\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" title=\"OCTOBER&#039;S MUST READ PRESENTATION\" frameborder='0' width='1200' height='675' src='https:\/\/view.genial.ly\/653ea1b0ff029b00112e882a#?secret=kf0gJpdmVy' data-secret='kf0gJpdmVy' scrolling='yes'><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another presentation tool I explored was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visme.co\/\">Visme<\/a>. This site also requires the user to sign up for a free account. It was an easy site to use when it came to editing templates for your personal projects. However, I felt there were many options only available to those users with a premium subscription. I liked the Text to Image AI Generator where the user can input a description of an image and have the AI convert the text into images. I still need to play with this aspect some more though because my generated pictures kept presenting zoomed in, which cut a lot out of the picture. There were many features that could be added onto a presentation, like graphics, different types of data features, various media, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last presentation tool I explored was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emaze.com\/\">Emaze<\/a>. This site requires the user to sign up for a free account. Emaze reminded me of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/presentations\">Canva<\/a> somewhat, but it was not as user friendly. I also found that many of the really awesome templates were only available to a user with a premium subscription. Emaze is a site that allows the user to edit presentation templates, but I would not recommend it over the other presentation tools I explored. I did not think it offered as much and it was more confusing to use than the other tools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the presentation tools I explored was Genially.
