With technology, there are more ways than ever for students to demonstrate and share their learning. Today, students can create everything from their own websites that show off their learning to videos that might explain a concept. A simple to use, accessible suite of tools that can help students share their learning is Adobe Spark.
Spark works on most devices and runs great in a browser, making it a great tool to use with Chromebooks. Adobe Spark also has a suite of iOS apps for iPhones and iPads. Spark Post is available for Android devices as well.
Adobe Spark is incredibly easy to use which makes it very classroom friendly. There are three components to the Spark suite, Spark Page, Spark Video, and Spark Post. And each component is free to use! Each Spark component provides templates to help the user get started.
Spark Page is a web site creator in which students can insert text, images, videos, and links. Students can use Spark Page to create a reflection blog or create a digital portfolio. Teachers can use Spark Page to create a class page where they can upload photos and student work.
Spark Video is a video editing tool where students can edit a video by incorporating text, images, and narration to create their own movie. They can use video to explain a concept such as a math problem. Students can also use Spark Video to introduce themselves, create a video journal, document a field trip, or create a video book report.
And lastly, Spark Post is a poster maker/graphic design tool where students can create everything from a poster, a flyer, or anything else they might want to create a graphic for. They can use Spark Post to create a poster about a story they've read in English class or a graphic that explains the steps in solving an equation in science or math.
