Adobe Spark - a Catalyst for Creativity in K-12 Classrooms


Educators are striving to incorporate tools that enable young students to use technology to enhance their learning. Today’s students need opportunities that help develop skills to prepare them for the world tomorrow.  By offering students an application that offers them unique ways to make their learning visible, we increase their potential to learn.

Finding a high quality, intuitive, yet simple application that meets the needs of both the educator and learner can be difficult.  Adobe Spark may offer a great interface to allow students to create and educators to support and offer feedback simultaneously. In the videos below, educators describe some of the benefits of using Adobe Spark in classrooms:


  • Increases student engagement
  • Can be used across all areas of curriculum
  • Multi-dimensional, where students can add voice, text, graphics and themes to digital stories
  •  It encourages students and gives them a forum to navigate through their thinking processes
  • It is shareable among peers, educators, students and parents
  • It provides opportunity for real-time feedback between students and educators
