Digital Journal class: In this class we will use Adobe Spark to create online journals with words and images. Some computer experience is necessary, but not much, it's easy and fun. Create a keepsake for yourself and your family which you can share via a link in an email. Students can create a daily journal, document an event, highlight great memories or whatever they want. This class emphasizes fun creativity. Course content will include: getting started with writing prompts, using the software to add words and images, revising, saving and sharing. See an example of a Digital Journal.

Possible course discussion topics include: Where do you obtain your news? What about fake news? How to research; climate change, refugees and homelessness, conflicts at home and abroad, technological innovations and scientific discoveries.
