Adobe Spark Video (Formerly Adobe Voice)
Spark Video is used for creating beautiful videos integrating text, images, photos, and music with spoken voice. Here's information at Adobe's website about the simplicity of the process. Students at every level, K-12+, can use this product with ease to create outstanding products.
"Designed by an educator, Adobe Voice scaffolds the storytelling process to help teach your students how to structure effective, engaging, stories and videos. It encourages experimentation, iteration, and creativity. And it lets students, from young students to graduate students, focus on their big ideas and create a great video in 20 minutes. Students and teachers around the world use Adobe Voice for classroom projects and presentations, explainer videos that introduce concepts, lesson plans and prompts, creative storytelling, and more." -- Adobe

TIPS AND NOTES
- Users need a free Adobe ID in order to publish videos. Adobe approves the use of a single Adobe ID for shared use among classroom students. Older students will want their own ID. For students under 13, the teacher needs to set up the accounts.
- Encourage students to create a script and plan content.
- Keep voice narration relatively short.
- Record in an area that's as quiet as possible!
- Can you do these tasks in Adobe Voice?
