Hola Monica,
Is Adobe Spark good for doing an end of year slide show that usually last 8-10 minutes or is there another app that you can use for Chromebooks to do a lengthy presentation.

In reply to technologeyes. Thanks for your comment Julie! I know some schools have parents opt-in for their students when using tools that ask for permissions. Check out spark.adobe.com/edu for their Education Guide which may provide more guidance for you :)

I have been hesitant to use Spark in the elementary and middle schools in my district because of their Terms of Agreement and that they ask for the age of students during the log in porcess. For students under 13 this is problematic. Thoughts anyone?

In reply to johnar. Hi John, thanks for your message! As a former one-to-one iPad classroom teacher I definitely believe in the power of iPads too. Just like you mentioned, there is so much you can do with an iPad including creating across multiple platforms. Have you checked out the Spark iOS apps? They work beautifully on iPhones and iPad too! Best, Monica

I really enjoyed your presentation at The University of Delaware’s recent technology conference. I will begin using Spark for movies next week. Thank you so much.

Monica, It seems as though the limitations of Chromebooks can really cramp the creative opportunities.

Spark is great, but when you have the experience of using an iPad, things really take off. That capacity to use the iPad as a Video recording device (in a number of different ways)…as a data capture device, as a voice and action recorder, with effects (huge number available), embedding videos in Pages, Keynote etc etc. Need I continue? While Chromebooks are cheap, the current limitations are really letting children down. I have no doubt that many readers looking to Chromebook advice will not know about the abundance of resource available (and free) on the Apple Teacher resource pages.
Release that creativity, embrace flexibility and fluid learning with a device and resources with the capacity to grow with your students abilities. http://www.johnar.net @AppleADE_UK
