Long Workshop
Student Video Projects with Adobe Spark Video
Videos can be fun for students of all ages to make and are a great way to show off their English. Most video software is complex and has a steep learning curve. However, Adobe Spark Video is a simple, free application that can be used on any device to easily create videos. Teachers and students can focus on content and language without spending a lot of time on how to use the software. In this workshop, the presenter will discuss different ways to use the software and show how to create a video. Bring a device with Spark Video installed to start creating your own video, or come and join the discussion and see how to use it.

Sample Video 2
This is a video I made as a sample for students. It took me about 90-120 minutes to make, only because it took me a while to find the images I wanted to use!
Major Update / Change to Adobe Spark
There has been a big change made to Adobe Spark within the past week that caught me by surprise. Adobe Spark Video is changing to Adobe Creative Cloud Express. If you go to the site spark.adobe.com, it will redirect you to express.adobe.com. Unfortunately, it looks like the new iOS app Creative Cloud Express will not be free. I am not sure if the web-based version will be free or not.
