Platform for Creating Interactive Animated Content
Genially is, at its core, a slide presentation tool, and although many such tools are available, this one stands out by making its creations interactive. Rather than flipping through a slideshow, students become more engaged with the content, so they are actively learning as they progress through the presentation.
The tool has a wide selection of templates, categorized for fast, targeted searching. Students and teachers can create videos (some from slides), infographics, quizzes, interactive images, slideshows, and more, with 12 types of templates.
While teachers can use the tool to create a class presentation, the collaborative nature of the tool makes it ideal for student groups working on a project presentation. Since the tool is cloud-based, students can use it for long-term projects, working across different times and from various places. Genially is free to use; Student, Edu Pro, and Master accounts offer premium features.

Nation’s Highest Honors in Recognition of Excellent K–12 STEM Teaching
For nearly 40 years, the National Science Foundation, on behalf of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, has honored STEM teachers nationwide for both their deep content knowledge and their ability to motivate students. The Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST) are the highest honors bestowed by the United States government for K–12 STEM educators in public, private, and charter schools. PAEMST awardees, of which there are up to two per state and jurisdiction honored each year, receive a certificate signed by the President; a $10,000 award; a paid trip to Washington, DC; and access to a nationwide cadre of award-winning teachers.
The award alternates yearly between K–6 and 7–12 grades. This Academic Year 2022–2023, members of the public can nominate a teacher at the 7–12 level. Teachers may also directly apply themselves. Nominations are due by January 9, 2023, and applications are due by February 6, 2023. Learn more at www.paemst.org.
