Student accounts are managed through the tech department to ensure COPPA compliancy and to receive premium feature access (namely removing the Adobe Spark watermark from images). Teachers can log in with their Google accounts. Students input their Google log-in information to Adobe School Managed accounts, but it does not "handshake" directly with Google YET.
On shared devices, students will need to log in AND OUT properly using Adobe for Education in order to properly store their work.

Consider using Spark Post to create literary graphics showcasing meaningful quotes and emphasizing how mood, visuals, and colors are influenced by publishing tools. Easily embed these images across tools like Seesaw, Google Sites, Flipgrid and more to add multimedia elements
Spark Video
Spark Video
Although iMovie and Clips provide us with high-quality video creation and editing tools, Adobe Spark Video provides a quick tool to create web-based videos that are shared via a link instead of downloading a large file. Spark Videos also nicely embed video content into Adobe Spark Pages.
Spark Page
Spark Page
Spark Page can be used to create a one-page website housing multimedia creations including images, videos, and more. Students often discover ways to manipulate the images for visual effect. Writing is often best drafted in a Google Doc for collaboration, then pasted into a Spark Page for publishing impact. Check out the 2017-2018 NBJH 8th Grade Restaurant Reviews created with Spark Page, then embedded them onto a Google Site to share widely.
