Hey Elementary and Middle School teachers, are you looking for new ways to connect your students with meaningful ideas? Adobe Spark is the perfect engagement tool!
Monica Burns from classtechtips.com has created a series of lessons with us at Adobe For Education to help make it easier!
Try these strategies:
1. International Interviews
- Adobe Spark makes collaboration easy! Students create a shareable product that another person can join
regardless of their time zone. - Students create a series of open-ended interview questions about living in another part of the world, and then create an Adobe Spark Page document to share.
- This strategy may be adapted for use with other Adobe products, such as Acrobat Pro.

2. A Historical Figure by The Numbers
- Condense larger research projects into a meaningful infographic! With this lesson, students create an artifact that presents a clear and concise way to present the most relevant information for peer understanding.
- You can use this strategy for any unit of study in your Social Studies classroom, and it can also be adapted for use with other Adobe products, including Photoshop.
- Adobe Spark Post enables the easy and professional visual representation of information through icons, text and color scheme.

3. A Reflection on the Bill of Rights
- Help students make a personal connection to the U.S. Bill of Rights! Students reflect on a single constitutional amendment, connect it to their life, and share this connection using Adobe Spark Page.
- Use this lesson plan with other foundational documents like The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, or any nation’s statement of citizen rights.
- Adobe Spark Page gives students an easy-to-use, professional-looking space to organize information and illustrate their thinking by using text and images.
