Adobe Spark
Adobe Spark....is AMAZING!!!
Today, I am super excited to bring you information about an extraordinary tech tool that is efficient, effective, and extremely engaging for your students. It doesn't matter what subject or grade level you teach...this is a tool you can use. It is awesome if a teacher wants to use it for instruction...perfect for student creation projects...and a wonderful tool for parent- school communication. This is what Adobe has to say,
"Gone are the days of dull reports, ho-hum assignments, and sleep-inducing powerpoint presentations. Spark design apps give your schoolwork serious sparkle power. Ready-made templates, free images and icons, and completely customizable fonts and colors make creating standout reports and presentations a breeze. For easy video projects, add photos, video clips, text, and icons to Spark Video and rejoice in smooth transitions, free soundtrack options, easy editing, and customizable fonts and colors. Adobe Spark is a powerful, online design platform that puts you in control of the creative process. But while it’s capable of delivering professional results, it’s also exceptionally easy to use."
