Create beautiful videos and web pages with Adobe Spark
This week I want to make you aware of a slick and free to use web resource that you and your students can use to produce eye catching web pages, videos and images quickly and easily.
A short overview of Adobe Spark (on a page created within Adobe Spark) is available here, please take a look.
For any existing users of Adobe resources, Adobe Spark combines three previously separate products; Adobe Voice, Slate and Post – into one intuitive package ideal for creative endeavours or as Adobe puts it ‘telling stories’.
Tied into the idea of ‘telling stories’, Adobe are also pushing Spark as a flexible yet easy to use education tool. Adobe suggests Spark can be used in educational settings for a range of activities including:
- Photo essays
- Student portfolios
- Creative storytelling
- Speech and language play
- Sight words proficiency
- Narrative prompts
- Rhyming games
- Playing with shapes and colours
- Second language acquisition
- Story starters
- Written assignments
- Class reports and blogs
- Trip reports
- Class newsletters
The Adobe Spark Edu Guide from where the above suggestions where found is available here.
I can certainly see Spark being handy for all kinds of student activities and formative assessments and I believe it may also be of particular interest to colleagues wanting to promote (or get their students to promote) events or projects.
