Adobe Spark Book Birthday Celebration

How do you inject creativity into your classroom? I can’t believe a whole year has passed since the release of 40 Ways to Inject Creativity into Your Classroom with Adobe Spark. Ben Forta and I published this collection of lesson ideas and activities last fall and are celebrating the one-year book birthday already!

In the past year we’ve also switched publishers. We’re excited to partner with Elevate Books to share these 40 ways with you. To help celebrate the birthday of our book and our new partnership with Elevate Books, I am hosting a special book birthday celebration.

40 Ways to Inject Creativity in the Classroom with Adobe Spark

Here’s how it works… When you show proof of purchase for the book you’ll instantly get access to six bonus graphic organizers and an audio version of the introduction to the book. You also can jump into the introduction right away, playing it like a podcast. Then on November 6th, I’ll send you a special, brand-new webinar recording.  

I know it’s a busy time of year and sometimes hard to carve out time on the calendar for a webinar. So I’m recording this one ahead of time. I’ll add captions and include a transcript, too. This recording will go over some new features in Spark. It will also take you through a bonus project idea you won’t find in the book. It’s a great opportunity to see Adobe Spark in action!

Here’s what you have to do:

  • Order the book, using my Amazon affiliate link:  https://amzn.to/2BjgiNs
  • Then, fill out this Google Form and add your Amazon order number (you can find it on your email receipt from Amazon or in the Orders area of your Amazon account): http://bit.ly/SparkBookBirthdayPOP
  • Make sure to fill out the form before November 5, 2019 at 11:59PM to be eligible for the bonus items

If you already ordered the book, no worries!

Praise for 40 Ways

Praise for 40 Ways to Inject Creativity into Your Classroom with Adobe Spark:

“Adobe Spark is a digital creation game changer and educators Burns and Forta have created the resource to empower any teacher to make students’ thinking visible and their learning come alive with this simple, yet powerful, tool. 40 Ways to Inject Creativity into your Classroom with Adobe Spark is a clear and practical guide to take student communication,reflection and creation to the next level. Burns and Forta don’t give us a ‘how to use AdobeSpark,’ instead they focus on ‘how to make student creation the driver of learning.’ This book is standards-driven keeping the focus on the learning and not on the tool.” — Rebecca Hare, Art and Design Educator and Author of The Space: A Guide for Educators

“This comprehensive collection of innovative Adobe Spark projects is a creative shot-in-the- arm for anyone seeking to diversify the digital learning artifacts produced in their classrooms. Ben and Monica provide proper insight and inspiration to get learners of all ages creating and communicating original media content. Their detailed lessons are easy-to-follow and ready-to-use tomorrow.” — Andy Leiser, Elementary Integration Specialist, Hastings, Minnesota
