Pedagogical Ideas

Emaze is a valuable tool that can be leveraged to enhance content, whether from a teacher’s standpoint, or a student’s.  Here are a few ideas for using Emaze.

  • Classroom Presentations – This online application allows teachers to create dynamic presentations that are cloud-based. Presentations can be accessed via any internet enabled device, making presentations available to anyone with the link. This is convenient for students who like to manage classroom resources without having to print out pages of a traditional PowerPoint presentation.
  • Student Presentations – From technocrats to technology deprived students, Emaze is a very user friendly app to create classroom projects. The site itself has various tutorials to help users navigate the different aspects of presentation creation. Students can embed various forms of media in their Emaze, and even embed other Emaze presentations within their projects.
  • Classroom Assessment - Emaze has a template that allows users to create assessments. These assessments are not recorded, but allows a viewer to walk through questions and view the answers.
