This is patti depriest and welcome back to educate academy brought to you by the kentucky academy of technology education
Today, we're going to take a look at Adobe spark
Adobe spark is free for education
There are three different parts to Adobe spark. There is spark post where you can create graphics and
Memes and things like that
there's spark video where you can actually do videos and put those together and
Then there's spark page which creates a an online like magazine or a website
Today we're going to focus mostly on spark page
But well initially we're going to talk a little bit more about what Adobe spark is and how to get it into your school on
This page and I will share that with you
Adobe will tell you how to set up your account or Adobe spark
They mentioned that if you already have Adobe products that you can add
Spark to the Adobe admin console. They also have a guide to getting started
This is really important because when you go to log your students in for it to be Copa compliant
It does need to be managed by your school
And when your students log in and create an account, they are going to initially create an Adobe account
And then they can actually use their Google or your office 365 email
But they're not going to actually create it initially with their Google or office 365 email account
All right. So what is spark and this is the page where you actually go into spark? This is my account and
When you're on here, if I go to the plus I can create a new post page or video
Notice that I have a few posts that I've created on here. I don't have any videos
I don't think I've done some but I think I did them on my
IPad if we want to look this is a post that I've created it is on
Yellowstone, and I just picked a
Way that I wanted to do the layout and I put the pick the pictures you can add
pictures and I chose photos and
You can upload a photo but you can all so find free photos and this is really nice
It pulls them from a lot of different free sites that are Creative Commons
Licensed for your students to use so it's really great
You can also add, you know, text and icons and logos and things like that
once you're done
You can share it out. And then you can also download it in order to bring it into spark page
You do need to download it and then upload it into Page
Hopefully they're working on that because it seems like they should you should be able to pull those in a lot easier
anyway, that is post go back by clicking on the icon here and
I'm going to show you this is a
project that I did for and
Adobe class I took on Adobe spark page and
So what what pages is it allows you pull in
Images videos add text and all and so this is the page that I created on
Destinations for a bucket list and so if you notice that I've put some headed headers in there are headlines
And I've got some text now. I've got some pictures. This is something that I created in Adobe spark post and
Then I've got more stuff here. And again just a picture
This is a different way to put in a picture where it goes all the way across and you scroll through it
notice it also has a little
Byline there or talks about the actual picture and then goes into Indonesia
Another one of those pictures and so on and so on so you get an idea of what this looks like going back
to the smart page
Just as I mentioned
To get to the website, I don't think I did mention that go to sparf adobe.com
/edu
Again, make sure that you set up that adobe admin console where your school is managing and controlling
the access to adobe spark
All the premium features that used to have to pay for are free for education
And so you can pretty much do anything that you can do in adobe spark for free with your students
So just one new we're going to click the plus sign and we're going to go to page
and so the first thing that's going to do is ask you to add a title know one of the neat things that
Spark has done is that teachers used to complain that with some of the products that the students would spend all day?
Looking at fonts and trying them out and all these different things
So they really limit you when you pick a theme you get the fonts that come with a theme
There's no other way to change those fonts. So we're gonna add a title and this is going to be on
Yellowstone National
Park
Alright so when I click off of that I can add a photo so I'm going to click on the photo
I'm going to go to fine fine free photos. I'm gonna type in Yellowstone
Alright, so a couple of these you may recognize from my other picture that I had that was one on here that I really liked
this one
That yeah, that's what I need. Okay
alright, so I'm gonna go down to this button and
I've got options I can add a photo I can add text I can add a button and this is how you add a
Hyperlink, I can have video from YouTube
I can put in a photo grid and I can have a glide show and we'll look at all of these
So first we're going to add text and it's going to be a headline. And so I am going to type in
And
Once I've done that I can format this text and so I can make it centered
Notice I can make it into a quote. I've got headline 1 or headline - I've chosen one. It was just a bigger one
I can add in bullet points numbers
you can make it up here at the top are your themes and so all of this is going to set my
Look as to what everything is gonna look like so I am going to let's try this vintage
Mmm, I don't like what I did to my picture and so I'm going to choose something else
This let's leave it at that for now
And again I come down here. Alright so underneath I am going to add some other text
And click here
This I'm going to make a quote and I'm gonna paste it in and
This is coming from a website from the National Park Service. And so
It is a quote now. I'm going to add again and
This time we're going to add a photo and we're going to add
Like this picture of the bison, so we're going to add this in
Notice you cut different ways to add the picture you can do it in line, which is what it is right now
And I could also fill the screen
I can do a window which is that kind of neat thing that you saw earlier I can do full width
We're just gonna make it a pretty big picture
and
So this moves it where it is located so it would have put it above where I had my quote
I'm gonna do the window so you can see it. And so now as I scroll it's going to scroll past that picture
I really like that effect
Notice, I have a caption that I can add
now see that's part of my
Theme and I don't really like the red behind it, but we're gonna leave it there
Alright now we can go back and change it later
Okay, so we're going to add some more text and
This is going to be a another headline this is going to be things to do and
Then under that we're going to add more text and it's going to be just plain. So I'm going to paste that in and
Then I'm going to go and add a video. So I'm going to click on the video button and
Copy a video that I have on another screen and I'm gonna paste this in here
And I'm gonna click Save and it adds it in. So this is five must-see attractions that you must do
You can see how easy it is to keep adding things on and so let's go and well gonna add a little bit more text
So I'm going to click here and I'm going to add the text and add see how this works with that headline
so once I added the
Headline this is the smaller of the two headlines
Let's add a photo grid and so I can add different photos to add to my grid
so let's add the
So the more pictures that I add it's going to change that grid what its gonna look like
Some of the things I'm not sure are Yellowstone so
There is a there we go. Okay, so that's my photo grid now I can move those around I believe
so I've got my little arrows here and so I can
move these if I've got the three scenes and the
Three things of wildlife if I want to change something I can click here and I can replace it
And I can say okay I want
Buffalo and so on. Oh one of my pictures disappeared that
Bear
Let's move this one over here
And so we've got some wildlife and we've got some scenery. All right, once we get it done see it says edit grid
It's really not liking that extra picture is it
I'll add this in
This is gonna redo my grid which I really like the way that it does those kinds of things
Yeah, not sure. That's actually that was done but we're gonna leave that there anyway
So I'm gonna click here and click Save and it adds that
experience then to
You see how easy it is. I've added all this stuff. It looks awesome. And
I can keep adding information. This is a great way for your students to
create and
turn in something that's a report, but yet they're
Putting it in a format that is just very very impressive
On here the things that we haven't added we haven't added a button. So let's go ahead and add that
National Park Service go back to their
Home for Yellowstone, so I'm gonna copy that and
So my button text is gonna say Yellowstone
and
We will paste that underneath
Notice my alignment I can make it left right or Center. Let's make it Center
And so that's going to be a button that people can press to get information
Okay, so underneath here we are going to put a
Let's put some text and said this time we're going to put just regular text
Okay, so we've got notice it's separated into each paragraph and it's got the ability to add pictures or whatever in between and
So now we're going to add another picture. We did the photo grid. So let's do the glide show and
So I'm gonna put Yellowstone hiking
If it'll come up with anything
But we can add some things here so that you can actually see what it's going to look like
As I said, I don't know that all of these are actually Yellowstone
Now if I don't like that picture I can come in here and delete it
I'm going to go ahead and you can you know, add and remove these pictures
I'm going to click Save so you can see what it does with it
And it may not save until it gets them all loaded
Okay, so
Notice as I scroll through here it's going from one picture to the next to the next
notice on each one of those that I can add a
Caption to it
again, I just this program just amazes me and how easy it is to use and how much you can do with it in so
Little time. So now we can go up to the preview button and it's going to show me
What its gonna look like notice that I didn't put in a subtitle so it took that out in the preview
I'm going to scroll down. I
Can actually watch the video
And I can close that
Scroll down I see my grid I can click here and it's going to open up the National Park Service site
Read some more and then I can scroll through these different pictures
Very impressive
Ok, so to get out of this I'm going to close that
back into the editing mode
Under share. This is how you would share your link with somebody else. And so I've got my title
I can pick a category where it goes
I have my officer name on here and whether or not I want to show that when I share this
I've got the photo credits for every picture that I pulled in as or added automatically and then I can create the link. I
Have to pick a category
Ok, so we're going to say education
once I've got that category picked, I'm going to create the link and
I can copy it. I can also post this to Facebook Twitter
I can email it something to someone or I can get the embed code that I can embed into another website
Or some other projects that will accept the embed code. So you've got all the different things will copy this here
and so if I was to come over here and paste this in
It's going to go ahead and load the actual version so that's it that really is all you need to do
So if you have any questions, feel free to contact me. My email is Petey priest. That's P de
