1. ICT tools in Education – Day 4

3. Easily create beautiful social graphics, web
stories, and animated videos with features
from Adobe Spark

4. WHAT IS ADOBE SPARK?
Adobe Spark is the integrated web and mobile solution that enables
everyone, especially teachers and their students of all ages with no
design experience, to easily create impactful visual stories and share
ideas quickly and beautifully.

5. With a goal of encouraging creativity and meaningful communication
without requiring a degree in graphic design, Adobe Spark allows users
to integrate text, photos, original fonts, video, audio, professional
themes, and icons into simple-but-professional projects that
communicate ideas cohesively and quickly..

6. Use PAGE to create a
story using text,
images, and video.
When you're done we'll
present your story as a
responsive web page
that can be viewed in
any web browser.
Use POST to create
images optimized for
social media; you provide
images and text and we'll
help with the design. We'll
even help you create the
right shape and size
image for each social
Use VIDEO to create, well, a
video. Add videos from your
computer or iOS camera roll,
overlay text, add your voice
and background music, and
we’ll help turn your story into
an amazing video to share
with the world.
ADOBE SPARK SUPPORTS 3 STORY FORMATS TO EXPRESS
IDEAS:

7. THREE FORMATS WHICH SHOULD STUDENTS USE?
There’s no right or wrong way to share an idea or tell a story, so there’s no right or
wrong way for students to use Adobe Spark. But, here’s a suggestion:
A Spark Video is a narrated movie, and is thus best suited for oral
presentations, the type of storytelling that you may have previously used
slideshow software for.
A Spark Page is a highly visual text based story, think of it as the word
processor you wish you had when you were in school. As such, it is ideally
suited for text-based projects and assignments that involve lots of photographs.
A Spark Post is an image optimized for social media. If you are going to be
posting ideas or links (including links to Video and Page stories), then Post will
create the compelling attention-grabber that you’ll need.
The Adobe Spark formats can also be used together. Create a Spark Video and embed it
in a Spark Page. Or create an image with Spark Post and use it in a Spark Video or a
Spark Page. Or, create a killer Page or Video story and use Spark Post to create a social
media image to drive traffic to your creation.

9. Why students and teachers choose Adobe Spark

10. HOW DO STUDENTS ACCESS ADOBE SPARK?
Adobe Spark can be used from your favorite desktop web browser on both
Windows and Mac machines, as well as on Chromebooks. The web
application supports all three Spark formats in one integrated environment.
Adobe Spark can also be used on iOS devices (both iPhones and iPads)
using the Spark mobile apps. There are three Spark iOS apps, one for
each Spark format (Spark Video, Spark Page, Spark Post), and you can
use any or all as you see fit. (Android apps are in the works).
As students are likely to work on multiple machines and devices, there is
a built syncing right into Adobe Spark. This way students can start work
on an iPad, continue editing on a Chromebook, work from home on a
desktop, and so on. Adobe Spark truly is a complete integrated solution.

As an invaluable classroom tool, injecting fun and interactivity, Adobe Spark can be used by teachers to:

12. Key Facts Cards
A great way to get students to remember
information about characters from history or in
books or across any given topic is to ask them
to create fact cards with information they need
to know about the key elements around the
learning activity.
Quotes and keywords
You will often want children to remember
key quotes and keywords as part of their
learning and often their definition too.

13. HOW DO I GET STARTED?
Once you login to Adobe
Spark you can start
creating content. There
are three step-by-step
walkthroughs below, one
for each of the Adobe
Spark formats. You can
try the three formats in
the order that they
appear below, or in any
order that best suits you.
To get started with Adobe Spark, visit spark.adobe.com, sign in and you can start creating and
sharing.
Set up an Adobe account. In this way, your work will be automatically saved to your file and
synced across all of your digital devices.
Adobe accounts cannot be created by children under the age of 13. To use it with K-8, the
account is created and supervised by a teacher or parent. Older students can log in via
Facebook, Google, or with Gmail credentials.
If you're working on a desktop or Chromebook, simply access Spark.Adobe.com, log in via
Facebook, Google, or email, and get started. There's nothing to download or install. If you're
using an iPhone or iPad, download the Adobe Spark apps from the App Store.
Once you're logged in, access My Projects and either continue work on a project or start a
new one. If you're starting from scratch, there are helpful templates that address a wide
variety of projects such as fliers, explainers, photo journals, teach a lesson, and more.

15. Project templates include social memes, mini websites, narrated tutorials,
presentations, reports, posters, how-to videos, and more. You can access
files in Dropbox, Google Photos, YouTube, Vimeo, or upload them from your
local computer. Spark, Adobe's replacement for Adobe Slate and Adobe
Voice, is actually three apps in one -- Spark Page, Post, and Video --
providing three technology in the classroom ways to tell a story.

16. Adobe Spark Post Walkthrough
Click POST.
Later choose
a tamplate
or start from
scratch

17. Spark Post gives you
lots of control over
text formatting. Click
or tap on the
text in your Post and
you’ll see options to
adjust color, font,
spacing,
alignment, opacity,
and shape.
Select the Find Photos (or
Search free photos)
option to find Creative
Commons images from
the public internet. Spark
Post comes with themes
that you can use to
quickly style and format.
Palettes are color
combinations that are
applied to both photos
and text.

18. Customize your project and
your post is ready to download to share!

19. Adobe Spark Page Walkthrough
The first thing you need to do is
give you story a title. You may
also provide a subtitle by
clicking or tapping on Add a
Subtitle.
Notice the + at the bottom of the Page, in Spark Page content
is added by clicking to tapping that +. The first thing you’ll add
is a background image for your Spark Page, so click or tap the
+ and then click or tap Photo to display the available photo
sources. Notice that you can use images from a variety of
sources, including images on your computer or device.

20. Scroll down until the content insertion popup is displayed.
You’ll see that Spark Page stories can contain photos, text,
buttons that link to other sites and pages, and embedded
videos. Start with some text, click or tap on Text, and then
type the first line of your story. Click or tap + a couple more
times and add some additional text sections. Experiment
with these options to see the different ways you can display
content.
Another way to add
photos is to use a Grid or
Glideshow which creates
professional, beautiful
display.
In Spark Page, you cannot specify
colors and fonts. This is
deliberate, and really important in
the classroom. Because teachers
want their students to focus on the
content, and not spend hours
tweaking colors and sizes, Adobe
Spark Page does not allow exact
text formatting, instead let you use
themes that guarantee gorgeous
results that students will be proud
of.
You can also add
video, both in the Page
itself, or above a
Glideshow image.
Videos in a Spark Page
must already be hosted
online. To try this
feature, search for a
video on YouTube and

21. Adobe Spark Video Walkthrough
The first thing you need to do is give your story a
title.
Spark Video includes templates to
help you structure your story. Feel
free to browse through the templates
and select one, or you can skip this
step and just click or tap on Start from
scratch.

22. After you make your
selection, you’re
guided through the
process. For
example, if you
choose to teach a
lesson, you’ll get six
template pages to
share an overview of
the lesson, the lesson
concept, an example,
an explanation, a
problem for your
audience to solve,
and a summary.
Spark Video stories are made up of a series of slides comprised of either photos, text, video clip or
icons. Spark weaves them together to create a video. The slides are shown at the bottom of the
screen, and this where you select, add, delete, or move them.

23. At the top right of
the screen, you’ll
find options that
affect the entire
video. Tap the
magic wand to
change the theme
of the video.
Click or tap the + in the middle and
this time select Icon. Adobe Spark
provides access to hundreds of
thousands of icons, type a word to
search for, and then select one to add
it to the slide.
Next, we’ll add a photo. Once again,
click or tap the + at the bottom left of the
screen to add another slide. This time
click or tap + and select Photo. You can
use a local phone, retrieve photos from a
variety of locations (including Creative
Cloud), or search for Creative Commons
images using the Find photos options.
Find a photo, and select it to add it to the
Spark Video slides can also
contain two items side-by-side,
or an item with text beneath it.
To try this, click on Layout at the
top of the screen. Select Two
things to be able to place two
items (two photos, a photo and
text, an icon and a photo, etc.)
on your slide.
Spark Video supports adding video
clips to slides. To use this feature,
you’ll need an MP4 video file saved
on your computer or device. You
can use your own video or
download a video from one of the
many online free stock video sites.

24. Now that you have a few slides, you need to record the
narration. Click on each slide at the bottom of the screen,
starting with the first (the title slide).
For each slide, click and hold, or tap and hold, on the red
microphone button. While the red microphone button is
pressed speak loudly and clearly, and when you are done
talking release the button. You can press the play button to
the left of the microphone button to hear your slide
narration.
At any time, click or tap the play button at the bottom of the
screen (to the left of the list of slides) to play your entire
video.
The final step is
background music. Click
on Music at the top of
the scree to display the
large music collection
that is licensed for you
and your students to
use. You can also use
your own music.
Now watch your completed creation. When your masterpiece is complete, it’s
time to share it with the world. Click or tap Share and you’ll be presented with
options to publish your story. Once your story has been published you’ll be given
a URL that you can share with others, and you can also download the video as

28. A.GENERAL INFORMATION: MEET SOCRATIVE
Socrative is your classroom app for fun, effective classroom engagement. No matter
where or how you teach, Socrative allows you to instantly connect with students as
learning happens.
By using Socrative, you can test your students’ knowledge to gauge their current
level, check ‘in-lesson’ concept learning, and add interaction to classes as students
respond via their mobile device.
Quickly assess students with prepared activities or on-the-fly questions to get
immediate insight into student understanding. Then use auto-populated results to
determine the best instructional approach to most effectively drive learning.

29. What is Socrative?
Socrative is a Web-based tool that
allows teachers to pose questions and
capture student answers.
Socrative is much like conventional
student response systems (or
“clickers”) that can enhance
interactive whiteboard presentations,
but Socrative eliminates the need for
expensive technology tools and
instead runs on any electronic device
with Internet access.
It allows teachers to create simple quizzes that
students can take quickly on laptops, tablet
computers or their own smartphones. That
makes these devices a more robust
replacement for special purpose “clickers.”
What is more, unlike traditional “clickers,”
Socrative allows students to enter text answers,
not simply choose a multiple choice answer.

30. Socrates: The Namesake
Socrates (470-399 BC) would be pleased to see his
philosophy of enquiry-based learning underpinning
Socrative - the easy to use, quiz resource for teachers.
Socratic Seminars, appropriately named for Socrates,
guide students toward deeper understanding through
the use of open-ended questions and inquiry based
problems.
Students use textual evidence to support answers
which should guide them to further questions in an
effort to promote critical thinking.

31. How does it work?
Teachers direct students to a web address where they input a code to log their
answers. Via single-response polling, students' answers register immediately on the
teacher's computer as the students submit their responses on almost any device.
Teachers can also access data online and print through an Excel sheet or email for
further planning.
Students join the virtual
classroom and then await
questions from the
teacher. Students select
correct answers.
Teachers set up a virtual
classroom and then create
questions/quizzes for
students to complete

33. Who can use Socrative?
Socrative can be used by students of all ages, all grade
levels, and all ability levels.
No email address is required and students do not create
individual accounts, so there are no privacy concerns or age
limitations.
More students may have access to personal electronic
devices in upper grades, so elementary and middle schools
may need to focus more efforts on obtaining Internet-
enabled devices for students to use.

34. What do I need to implement Socrative?
Ideally, the technology should be implemented in a
1:1 ratio, although students could potentially work in
small groups for some activities. Teachers may have
small class sets of electronic devices or laptops for
those students without personal electronic devices.
At least two Internet-enabled devices are needed to
implement Socrative, a teacher device and a
student device.

35. Why Socrative is Preferred?
Quick Feedback: Student results flashes on the teacher’s screen as they respond to the quizzes
and questions. Hence, teachers can easily visualize what is happening and what students are
doing at the moment.
Personalized Content: Here educators can edit and design their own library assessments and can
also share it with their personal learning network.
Reports: Students understanding can be reviewed in different types of format. Reports can be
emailed or can be downloaded or can be saved into Google drive.
Compatibility: This app is available in for iOS apps, all web-browsers, Windows app, Android apps,
Chrome Apps, Kindle Apps making it reachable for every educational technology settings.
