Adobe Spark allows students to easily create publications with its free and easy to use platform. Through Adobe Spark, students can create a "Video", a "Page", or a "Post". An Adobe Video allows students to drop both images and videos into the project accompanied by text/captions and music. An Adobe Page allows students to create a trending linear presentation that students can turn into a published newsletter. An Adobe Post lets students create an image with a text layover that can be shared out.

Below is an Adobe Spark Page Tutorial using Adobe Spark followed by a completed example.
Below is a sample of a Spark Video where you simply drop images, text, and video to create one seamless video presentation. The first video is an actual tutorial with screenshots showing how easy Adobe Video is to use. The second is a sample video from our Career Days.
Below is an Adobe Spark Post where you can upload a photo and use the various templates to add textual information as an overlay. The Post seen here I made as an emailer to send out to staff members in order to advertise a few summer sessions I taught.
Below are images of our Project SEARCH students interning with Doctor's Hospital and sharing their stories at their open house. Note the iPads set up at each table displaying their Adobe Video presentations which they ran on a loop throughout the duration of the open house!
Project SEARCH serves students with significant intellectual and developmental disabilities. The most important criterion for acceptance into Project SEARCH is a desire to achieve competitive employment. The program provides real-life work experience combined with training in employability and independent living skills to help youths with significant disabilities make successful transitions from school to productive adult life.

In Adobe Spark, you can create your shareable link and email it, but an easy way to collect student work is by creating a simple Google Form and having them copy and paste their Spark link into the form. This way you have a nice, sortable spreadsheet that lists all of your student work in one place!
