Snapguide is a free online tool that allows you to design engaging 'how-to' guides. Snapguide lets users combine text with pictures or videos, which makes tutorials much more visual-attractive.
Tutorials seem as a good excuse to engage your students in meaningful writing and since Snapguide is easy to use, you can implement this tool into your classroom and make students create appealing guides as they use language freely.
I created a simple step-by-step guide with 'Instructables' for you to learn how to design an engaging tutorial with Snapguide. The GIF below is just a preview of it, please click on following LINK to read the full guide and leave a comment here if you would like to use it!
