Genially is a cloud-based platform for building interactive learning and communication experiences.
“By seamlessly integrating Genially into the Intel® SFI initiative, educators can engage in more interactive skills development, enriching the learning experience for students.”
Luigi Pessina, Director Education Programs and Strategy at Intel®
A future-oriented skillset and mindset
The goal of the Intel® SFI initiative is to prepare students for the “Fourth Industrial Revolution.” It’s a revolution that’s guiding us towards a future based on cyber-physical systems, AI, robotics, automation, and increased human-machine connectivity according to the World Economic Forum.
The program helps teachers adapt to these changes by upskilling and adopting new technology in the classroom. The aim is to help both students and educators develop “new skillsets and new mindsets,” say the Intel® team.
This interactive resource for Middle School Physics was created in Genially. It teaches students about the turning effects of forces and how to create a prototype with the 3D modeling software Autodesk Fusion 360.
“Genially offers distinct advantages over traditional learning formats by providing interactive, visually appealing content that enhances engagement and comprehension.”

Helping teachers adopt new technology
When putting together the SFI Planning Toolkit and Starter Pack, the Intel® Skills for Innovation team found that Genially offered a more engaging and dynamic alternative to static slides. It allowed them to combine video, animations, pop-up text, and images in one rich-media resource.
Because the Starter Pack is designed to help educators and students adopt new technology, Genially’s features were helpful for building step-by-step software simulations. Using screenshots of the interface and interactive hotspots, the team was able to guide learners through how to use new tools.
“Genially’s versatility and customization options enable educators to tailor materials to diverse learning needs, while its cloud-based platform ensures easy accessibility and sharing,” says Luigi Pessina, Director of Education Programs and Strategy at Intel®. “Genially promotes digital literacy and creativity, equipping students with essential skills for the future workforce.”
This learning experience introduces High School students to the concepts of Pathos, Logos, and Ethos. Through a series of interactive activities, students learn how to employ persuasive marketing techniques using Chat GPT.
“Genially’s intuitive interface and wealth of templates foster collaboration and empower educators to optimize learning results.”
“Not only does Genially help to create a more engaging learning experience for students, but it provides an easy and accessible way for educators to start to integrate technology into their day-to-day classroom.”
