With the latest update to Adobe Voice, the tried and true video creator for the iPad that our teachers have loved has become changed names and added browser access. Adobe Voice is now Adobe Spark and the browser allows teachers to use their chromebooks and desktops to create awesome multimedia projects with their students. The one link: spark.adobe.com  gives students free access to creating videos with voice narration, graphic images, and easy flowing pages to create web stories that are shareable via links and through social media to add to your teaching tool box!   The apps are still there, just the names have changed and updated.  If you have iPads these are must have apps for any grade level: Adobe Spark Video - Easily Create Videos in Minutes Adobe Spark Post - Create Stunning Graphics  Adobe Spark Page - Create Stunning Web Pages from your Words and Images I created a recap of my BreakoutEDU sessions quickly through the desktop version to try out the features...just like the apps, it is clean, easy to use, and no ads!
