I used Adobe Spark to create a welcome video for the students who would be entering my class the next year. This video provides them with not only an introduction to who I am as their teacher, but also provides the students and the parents with important information that they will want to know before the first day of school (such as where the classroom is, and what they will be learning over the course of the year). I enjoyed this app and think it is extremely user friendly. I appreciated how the site pre-generates the credits at the end, so you don’t have to worry about citations. The templates can be a little restrictive, but I think they also helped to create a nice “look” for the video. I think teachers could use it as a resource for a lot of different activities, and could even encourage students to make one on a certain topic to demonstrate their learning.

Very bright and cheery video – with thoughtful messages. I especially like the “why to learn?” And a clever ending on giving credit.
