“Creativity is as important now in
education as literacy and we
should treat it with the same status.”
- Sir Ken Robinson
What is Adobe Spark?
Adobe Spark is the integrated web and mobile solution that enables everyone, especially
teachers and their students, to easily create and share impactful visual stories.
What is Adobe Spark?
Adobe Spark supports three story formats, three ways to express ideas
Spark Page
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.
Spark Page
Turn stories into modern professional, attention-grabbing web pages
Bring words and images together in fun ways
Turn essays, assignments, reports into engaging visual stories
Spark Video
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.
Spark Video
Turn your story into an captivating animated narrated video
Present a report
Explain a concept in class
Tell your personal story
Spark Post
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.
