Adobe Spark can be used in many different ways in the classroom. There are 3 main features: Spark Page, Spark Post, and Spark Video.
Spark Page allows students to give presentations in a fun, new, and exciting manner. Topics can include just about anything you like. The process is very clean and intuitive. This is recommended for students starting in grade four or five.
Spark Video can be used with students as young as Kindergarten. There is little to no typing, and students can even use their own voices in the videos! They really feel like they are creating movies.
Spark Post is really intended for social media and announcements. It will most often be used by teachers, and older students.
