Slick Web Tools for Teachers and Students
Adobe Spark is three tools in one, allowing anyone (including students) to create web stories, animated videos & social graphics with free templates... Yes, it's all free. And to top it off, everything you create in Spark plays very well with both desktop and portable devices.
To wit, here's what you can create with Spark:
- Spark Page: Create beautiful, flowing web pages with your photos, videos and text, quickly and easily.
- Spark Post: Mix text and photos to make a DIY meme to share on the web or on social media, or piece together a mini-poster to print for your classroom.
- Spark Video: One of my faves: choose a background of a series of photos, add text and smaller photos in the side, choose the timing, and record your voice, commenting or giving directions on a classroom project!
Best of all, the designs you create are easy, look very slick, and are easily shared. UPDATE: There's now Spark for Education... Sign up for a classroom account by clicking here.
