Assignment
Book trailers are due today- you can send me a link but make sure it works first or you can bring it in with a flash drive- we will go all period until they are finished and finish any remaining on Wednesday. Please read Mr. Barr's email below regarding programs that you can use
It looks like the best choice is Adobe Spark. It is free to use, but users need to sign-in so the application can keep track of their individual projects. I believe they can use any GMail account, including their school accounts. If that won't work, they can create a free Adobe ID. It is an online editor, so a Chromebook will work. Allow about an hour to get comfortable with it. (All completed projects will have an Adobe logo printed on them.)
Find Spark here: https://spark.adobe.com/make/video-maker/
Here is a review: https://www.pcmag.com/review/344565/adobe-spark
If you have a Macintosh available, iMovie is a good choice. It's on many of our MacBooks, and it is free to add it if it isn't yet installed.
