Chromebooks are powerful devices for student content creation. And students can use them to create incredible graphics, web presentations and videos using Adobe Spark Post, Page and Video. First the student must log in and then choose Post, Page or Video to begin.
Adobe Spark Post
Next have students enter the base text for their project. It could be a vocabulary word and definition, a profile of a historical figure or a scientific or mathematical expression or concept.
They can now adjust the size, theme, background, color palette or text options. They can use the built in Google Search to find hundreds of classroom safe photos for their project. Most students will be able to create a visually appealing graphic for any project in minutes and be able to save it to their Google Drive.
Adobe Spark Page
Next have students enter a title for their project. It could be a web page or presentation about a specific person, concept, novel, etc. Then they should pick a photo for the top section of their web page. Photos can be uploaded or chosen from Google search.
They can now add photos, text, section headers, buttons, or videos. Most students will be able to create a visually appealing web page for any project quickly and be able to send the link to their teacher through Google Classroom or any other CMS that you use.
Adobe Spark Video
Next have students enter a title for their project. It could be a video that presents information, teaches a concept or flips a lesson. Then they should pick a theme for their video.

Most students will be able to create a visually appealing video using photso for any project quickly and be able to send the video or a link to their teacher through Google Classroom or any other CMS that you use.
