RESOURCE DESCRIPTION
Give a brief description of the technology/resource.

Google Drive allows people to share documents and media files.

Adobe Spark allows people to put videos and together and make a group video.

INTEGRATION IDEA - COLLABORATION

How might you integrate this resource in a lesson plan to promote collaboration among students in your classroom, or among
students and others outside of the classroom?

I want to integrate both sources by having each student record videos one their phones and upload them to Google Drive.
Student teams then add their video clips together on a chrome book using the Adobe Spark website. The finished videos can be
shared with the class and the class can discuss which video makes the topic most clear to the other students and why.

I think this would be valuable in helping student present material in a new way that is easy and exciting. The results are
professional and the video will engage the whole class when complete. The students should find both technologies user friendly
and fast. Students can also share the videos with their families. As long as the video is not of the students, no video release is
required.

VALUE-ADDED EXPLANATION
• Based on the “value-added rating scale” above, how would you rate the technology integration you described, using the
selected resource? Both Google Drive and Adobe Spark are “3”
• Explain your rating based on the rubric indicators.
It would be impossible to make a collaborative video presentation on Chrome Book without Google Drive to get all the videos
together and Adobe Spark to assemble them. Adobe Spark is very easy to use and school districts can get free educational
accounts.
