Have you ever thought about how useful can
be to change the way we teach as professor? Do students get boring when they
hear you? Do you think it is possible to create interactive and dynamic slides
for students in order to learn English effectively and easily? Do you? No worries,

As
matter of fact, this app permits to create funny, dynamic and marvelous slides
in which you as professor can design, create, shape and add texts, videos or
images in order to be attractive for the students. Also, it can be useful for teaching
and improving the four areas or skills of the English language (Speaking,
Listening, Writing and Reading).

Why should professors use this app?
There
are some situation where students do not pay attention to the professors. Traditional
classes have been too boring, much as normal. The repetition of the class is a
like a torture for students. New technologies have been part of the students
and professors have to take advantage of it. As we mentioned before, this app
will allow you to present presentations successfully and effectively. Your
students will be interested in your classes if you change the way you teach and
put in practice theories through animations.
Can
students learn through this app?
Yes,
they can. First, the app is in English. There are some vocabularies that
students are not familiar with. Even this is basic, it allows the students to
learn about basic computer terms. Second, there is the recording section where
students can record their voices in order to practice one of the area of
English (speaking).
Finally,
this app can be downloaded through Play Store and App Store. Powtoon has a
website. Throught the website you can share your slides and make them accessible
to others, access to edit your slides or just watch them. Enjoy this app and
try something different.
