Adobe Spark

Adobe Spark is a free graphic design suite of tools from Adobe that allows the user to create posters, web pages or videos. The goal of Adobe Spark is to encourage creativity easily. In their project, students can integrate text, photos, fonts, video, audio and icons to allow them to communicate their ideas quickly. One advantage is that the photos offered on Spark are Creative Commons so the students don't have to worry about licensing. They can also access files in Dropbox, Google Photos, YouTube, Vimeo, or upload them from their local computer. The students can create a free account using their school Google account. It is in the cloud, so it can be used on any device.

Below is a overview of the 3 formats that are offered in Adobe Spark.

How to Get Started

Set up an Adobe account. In this way, your work will be automatically saved to your file and synced across all of your digital devices. Adobe accounts cannot be created by children under the age of 13. To use it with K-8, the account is created and supervised by a teacher or parent. Older students can log in via Facebook, Google, or with Gmail credentials.
If you're working on a desktop or Chromebook, simply access Spark.Adobe.com, log in via Facebook, Google, or email, and get started. There's nothing to download or install, no fees to pay. If you're using iOS like an iPad, download the three Adobe Spark apps from the App Store.
Select whether you want to create a page, post, or video. These are three different project options that align with either the three options on your desktop Adobe Spark website or the three different apps you downloaded to your mobile device.
Once you're logged in, access My Projects and either continue work on a project or start a new one. If you're starting from scratch, there are helpful templates that address a wide variety of projects such as fliers, explainers, photo journals, teach a lesson, and more.
When you finish your project, it can be directly uploaded to Twitter and Facebook (for olders), downloaded as a JPG, accessed via link (for Spark Video), or downloaded as an MP4 (for Spark Video).

Adobe Spark is a great creative tool to use in the classroom for the students to show what they have learned. This is one tool that my students will have a choice of to create their Infographic for their AP Portfolio.

Why don't you give it a try - it is free!
