The Video Book Trailer was one of my favorite assignments to complete. First of all, I was happy it was done because it took me many, many tries to get it right, so it was a relief when I was finally happy with it. Secondly, I loved making the book trailer because I used a brand-new tool and learned so much about it by trial and error. I also chose a book that I had just finished reading, so I was still pretty pumped about it! I used Adobe Spark for the first time for this assignment. I had never even heard of it until I attended the ICE conference in February, and this seemed like the perfect chance to try it out. While the final product turned out just fine, it was quite time-consuming to get it that way. I do not think that was the tool’s fault, though; I am a perfectionist about certain things, and the timing of the audio on each slide was just “not right”. I kept recording over and over again until I could figure out how to make it “just right”. Other than my own personal challenges, Adobe Spark was easy to use and will be much faster for me next time! At the ICE conference, where I first learned of Adobe Spark, examples were given in the form of student websites. Teachers had students set up digital portfolios in the form of a blog or website, very similar to what we are doing for USF. I would love to incorporate this practice into my teaching in the future! Teachers could also use Adobe Spark exactly how the assignment intended – as book trailers or book reviews/reports. Thanks to this assignment, I forced myself to work outside of my comfort zone and learned so much from doing so! Link to Video Book Trailer: https://spark.adobe.com/video/1KinELwKaVp9V
