New to PASD: Adobe Spark!

Super exciting news guys! We were able to purchase the Adobe Spark platform for students and staff here at PASD this year.

What is it?

Well, thanks to Wikipedia: "Adobe Spark is an integrated suite of media creation applications for the mobile and web developed by Adobe Systems. It comprises three separate design apps: Spark Page, Spark Post, and Spark Video."

Why do you want to know about it?

Well, it allows you and your students to create (professional looking) publishable graphics and flyers (and more!) quickly and easily. It also has the ability (like Google docs) to collaborate on projects! 

How can I use it?

Here is an awesome guest post by Claudio Zavala Jr. on Matt Miller's Ditch that Textbook website from August 2018. There are some great "real" examples on this website.

Here Adobe created an article titled "16 Ways to Motivate Students in the Classroom Using Adobe Spark." There are some great idea starters here.

If you have any other resources please share them in the comments. 

These are a few of the things that I created in less than 20 minutes this year (so far) If you are interested in learning more submit a Mojo and one of the technology coaches, trainers or myself would be happy to work with you!

Think of these books as a What if... Chicken Soup for the Digital Soul, where the author shares real life stories of how digital footprints have impacted both adults and students and gives ways to create a positive footprint. Let's face it, we can't not have a digital footprint, unless you are totally disconnected, so we, staff and students, need to focus on making sure what others can see of us online is what we want them to see. Ways you can check what...
