TEACH A LESSON with your Adobe Spark VIDEO assignment

  1. Choose a topic to teach........as always, it must be appropriate for use in your classroom. Teach something and think like a teacher.
  2. BONUS Choice: You may create your Spark VIDEO using same topic you did for your Spark PAGE last week if you wish OR you may choose a new topic. That should make things a bit easier. You have already done the research and have most of the information gathered from last week's project, although you may need to gather a bit more information since this project includes narration, images and maybe even shoot some video.
  3. You ABSOLUTELY want to improve on what you did last week and this will include your voice narration.
  4. Spark Videos may contain little bits of TEXT unlike Spark Page, which can contain unlimited text, but Video contains your voice narration instead of lots of text to read.
  5. The power is in adding your voice to each slide. Yes, you must add your voice to each slide.
  6. Assume this is a Full Lesson you have to teach and you have a child who is critically ill and cannot come to school. You want to be sure that child gets the same information as your students who are in attendance each day, including hearing your voice.
  7. Your Voice MUST on each and slide.
  8. You may use some music if you want, just make sure the music does not fight and overpower your voice. What you are saying is most important. So make sure you adjust the volume level of music.
  9. It is better to have MORE slides and not talk too long on each slide. Nobody wants to stare at the same picture for more than 10+ seconds on average.
  10. Like the Adobe Spark PAGE, be thorough, this needs to include not less than fifteen (15 slides) and likely will be many more for a complete lesson. Don't put too much information on each slide and don't talk too long on each slide, it is boring to stare at the same picture for very long.

  11. Make sure it is a complete lesson. What do you need to teach your class today? Could a SUBSTITUTE teacher complete your lesson from this project. Could that sick kid understand what you are teaching and get the same lesson the kids the class received?
