“Storytelling is the oldest form of teaching. It bonded the early human communities, giving children the answers to the biggest questions of creation, life, and the afterlife. Stories define us, shape us, control us, and make us. Not every human culture in the world is literate, but every single culture tells stories.”
Adobe Spark is an incredible storytelling tool. In fact, it is three tools in one.
- Create and share visuals with Spark Posts.
- Create and share videos with Spark Videos.
- Create and share web pages with Spark Pages.
