Student Spotlight: Video Projects for Refugee Students, Oakridge Elementary

April 2017Josh Whiting

The 6th Grade students at Oakridge Elementary have been working with their teachers in Project Based Learning. The focus of their projects has primarily been around how we can support refugee students in our area. With the support of their teachers Krystal Bowen, BJ Nelson, and Laurel Myers, students researched areas of need and then created videos that would support a student’s transition to our school. This allowed them not only to explore new cultures but also utilize new technologies such as screen casting, video editing and voice-overs.

Here are examples of their work, produced and shared using Adobe Spark. Click on a screenshot to view the video.

Teacher Spotlight: ETEP Teachers in Action

October 2016Josh Whiting

ETEP Teachers in Action - Adobe Spark Video Screenshot

Adobe Spark video feature was used to capture some of the past ETEP teacher lesson activities.  Adobe Spark allows you to login using your Google account, and create a Post, a Page, or a Video.  Besides choosing a theme and music, students can also have the option to narrate their pictures.  Share with a link or an embed code.  It was a fun way to share student learning taking place in some amazing Granite School Education teacher’s classrooms.
