Creating With Adobe Spark

Adobe Spark is one of my favorite technology tools. They make it easy to look like a rock star! Adobe Spark allows you to create:

  • Graphics
  • Websites
  • Slideshow style videos

If you are an educator the program is Free – Yes! I said free! to use. Simply sign up with your school email.

A good friend of mine, Elissa Malespina, recently posted on social media an Adobe Spark video she created for her new school district where she introduced herself. I thought this was such a fabulous idea, and since I just started in my new school, I decided to use Elissa’s idea as inspiration.
