Add a Little SPARK to Ideas and Stories

Have you seen Adobe Spark? It's a free website where you and your students can create some beautiful visual stories. You can make a graphic, a page ( doesn't have to be made public), or a video story.  It's very simple for students to use and create some amazing products. 

Spark Page

HERE is an example of Spark Page ( webpage but does not need to be published). Spark Page has amazing photos to choose from or you can add your own. It has something called Glidepage that moves the text, photos, and videos as you navigate the page. It has beautiful, but simple to use layouts. This would be a wonderful way for students to create something about a topic they have researched. 

Spark Post

HERE is an example of Spark Post (graphics). Spark Post is a simple way to add an image with text. Students can easily make beautifully designed images. This would be a great tool for students to make digital citizenship posters. 

Spark Video

HERE is an example of Spark Video ( video stories). Spark video is a wonderful way for students to make professional looking videos. They add their own video clips and Spark Video had free songs and themes to make the video look amazing. Students can create a video portfolio or make a how to video to show off a recipe, STEAM project, or something they have learned how to do. 

In order to use this site with a student under 13 years of age, a teacher does need to create an Adobe account with their own email and the students need to use that account to log in and be working under the supervision of the teacher.

Attached is Adobe Spark EDU guide. HERE is the link to a page specifically for educators. If you'd like to brainstorm some ideas for using this in the classroom or would like some support in using this with your students, see your friendly ITRT.
