Introduction

Digital Literacy Class: We are going to learn about so many incredible ways to be creative, collaborative, and to communicate. We will focus on computer skills and applications. Some topics you already know about, and you will know better, and other topics and applications will be new to you! Either way, we will work together to find the ones you are able to use best. This class consists of Project-Based-Learning. You will be given plenty of time to learn the skills and applications that you will use for a lifetime. I hope you enjoy the material we will cover. - Mr. S

100621: Canva & Adobe Spark

ADOBE SPARK Account Setup:  Adobe Spark enables you to tell stories and share ideas quickly and beautifully.  There is a free account that you can set up using your School GMail Address.

Spark lets you create three types of content:

Use Page to create a story using text, images, and video. When you're done we'll present your story as a responsive web page that can be viewed in any web browser.

Use Post to create images optimized for social media; you provide images and text and we'll help with the design. We'll even help you create the right shape and size image for each social media platform.

Use Video to create, well, a video. Add videos from your computer or iOS camera roll, overlay text, add your voice and background music, and we’ll help turn your story into an amazing video to share with the world.

You can create individual Pages, Posts, and Videos, or you can use the formats together (including a Post image in a Video, or a Video in a Page, you get the idea).

CANVA Account Setup:  Design presentations, social media graphics, and more with thousands of beautiful layouts.  Click the links below and watch the videos to understand how CANVA.com works.  You should then click the link to create an account on CANVA.com so it will help save some of your work.  YOU DO NOT NEED TO PAY FOR ANYTHING, the FREE ACCOUNT is enough.
