Here you can put a highlighted title
If you are going to present live, we recommend that you train your voice and practice: the best improvisation is always the one that is most rehearsed!.
You can create a outline to synthesize the content and use words that help consolidate the mental structures of the students.
Show enthusiasm, flash a smile, and maintain eye contact with your students: 'The eyes, chico. They never lie'. Leave them speechless.
Maps are a great ally, use them!
Interactive visual communication improves learning outcomes on any topic and in any context. Before you start creating, it's a good idea to take a few minutes to think about what this map tells and teaches you.

Use tables
Disciplines such as Visual Thinking facilitate the organization of knowledge through the use of images, graphics, infographics, and simple drawings.
Describe the topic and the content you will address in class, and don't forget to emphasize why the topic is interesting.
With Genially templates, you can include visual resources to engage the class from minute one. You can also highlight key content to facilitate its assimilation and even embed external content that surprises and provides more context to the topic: videos, photos, audios...Anything you want!
