Adobe Spark
A Video Project that won’t take a week!
Students love creating videos. Teachers like the idea of having their students create videos, but they can take a LONG time. Your three day project quickly ends up being 5 or even 7 days.
Adobe Spark is a multimedia creation tool that can create simple videos. These videos are more like narrated slideshows. Import your pictures, add some text, and narrate each slide. The finished project plays like a video and can be easily shared via Google Drive.
TIPS FOR GETTING STARTED:
· Have students create a simple storyboard to plan out what will be on each slide.
· Students should plan out their narration in advance.
· Adobe Spark supports Google Photos. Have students save images into an album for easy access.
· Determine how you want your students to share / submit their final video. Google Drive and YouTube are your best options. We will use Google Drive.
· Use a rubric to evaluate student work rather than assigning a letter grade.
