Abstract: Introduction: The advance of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has transformed education, favoring the implementation of innovative teaching strategies. In this context, the use of the digital tool Genially has made it possible to energize the teaching of History, encouraging the active participation of students. This study focused on designing and evaluating interactive strategies based on Genially, with the aim of improving the learning of historical content and developing critical thinking in secondary education students. Development: of a qualitative methodological approach, case studies, classroom observations and surveys aimed at students and teachers were carried out. The results showed that the integration of Genially in the teaching of History increased student motivation, facilitated the understanding of historical events and improved knowledge retention. In addition, the use of interactive resources, such as timelines and concept maps, promoted more autonomous and meaningful learning. However, challenges such as the digital divide and the need for teacher training in the pedagogical use of digital tools were identified. Conclusion: The study showed that Genially is an effective tool for improving the process of teaching and learning history, as it promotes a more visual, interactive and participatory learning. However, to ensure its effective implementation, it is essential to reduce the digital divide and strengthen teacher training in the design of innovative teaching strategies.
