2017 Adobe Spark Post Back-To-School Posts
Just in time for Back-to-School, the Adobe Spark Post team has created 5 remixable posts for you to use in the classroom:
2017 Back To School With Adobe Spark
It's Back-To-School time, and teachers all over are prepping for another year in the classroom. Back in prehistoric times, when I was in school, that meant sharpening lots of pencils, trying to get last year's chalk mark remnants off the board, obtaining a stack of clean projector transparencies and duplicator carbon sheets ... ouch! Teachers these days do much the same, although we've (thankfully) traded much of that ancient technology for shiny laptops, Chromebooks, iPads, and desktop computers.
Over the past few years, I've had the good fortune and privilege of meeting thousands of passionate educators the world over, and many have shared the innovative ways that they are using our FREE Adobe Spark in their classrooms. Just as I've done the past two years, I've compiled some of my favorite teacher-shared Spark classroom ideas into this post.
2017 Adobe Spark And TrilbyTV
TrilbyTV lets students and teachers publish videos on school digital signage. And how are those videos created? Adobe Spark, of course.
2016 A Guide To Using Video In Spark Video
Earlier today we announced an update to Adobe Spark, you can now embed video in your Spark Video stories. To help you get started, I used Spark Video to create this video which explains how to embed videos in your Spark Video videos. (Yep, I know how bad that sentence reads, but it was fun to write).
2016 Video in Spark Video
The Adobe Spark team is on a roll! In the past two weeks we've updated Spark Page and Spark Post, and now it's Spark Video's turn. We just announced Adobe Spark Video v3 which adds the single most requested feature, support for video files. You can now add MP4 and MOV video to Spark Video slides, you can trim, zoom, manage audio levels, and even automatically continue video on upcoming slides, and all with the clean, fun, friendly interface you've come to expect from Spark. Video in Spark Video is available now both on the web and on iOS.
2016 Spark Post Text Cutouts
And the Spark goodness keeps coming! Spark Post now supports text cutouts. Not sure what that means? Add some text to your Post, then select the shape, and tap the shape repeatedly. Slick, huh? So, we've improved Spark Page and Spark Post ... I wonder if more Spark Video goodness is on the way. ;-)
2016 Get Your Spark Page Stories Noticed
We just released an update to Spark Page. When sharing you'll now see a "Get noticed" option, check it and we'll make sure your stories get indexed by search engines, and we may even highlight them in Spark itself.
2016 Adobe Spark At MAX
Adobe MAX 2016 is now just weeks away, and this year Adobe Spark will be featured.
2016 Adobe Spark Safe Search
Adobe Spark is immensely popular among younger users, even very young users. To make Spark safer for our youngest fans we recently significantly revamped safe-search of both photos and icons. That said, no safe-search filter is truly foolproof, and so we've implemented a blacklist mechanism so that we can quickly block offensive images if they do somehow get through the filter. If you run into problematic images, please email us with the exact search term and a copy of the image.
2016 Spark Page Just Got Better
We just updated Spark Page with two much requested enhancements:
- Your Spark Page stories can contain links to other sites and pages. Previously links were only supported via buttons, but you can now turn any text into a link.
- We've also significantly improved the embedding options so that Spark Pages embedded into your site or blog will look a whole lot better.
