Introduction

Adobe Spark Video is a tool which allows students to turn a story into an animated narrated video. After using Spark to make voice recordings, students can add images, text, icons, design-themes, and music. Animated motion-graphics are automatically added to create a polished video.

Products can be exported as a video file to the camera roll, or shared to a number of other locations.

Adobe Spark Video supports students who are able to explain their thinking verbally using a video storytelling application. Task Challenge/Activity
