Now that most districts are one to one or at least close, we are onto the next phase of technology integration: meaningful use of technology. Empowering the students to use their devices to move beyond the four walls of the classroom and become true global citizens while adding a purpose to learning. How do we build a bridge over this chasm and jump into the true sense of 21st Century Learning and Skills?
Creativity is the key to allow students to truly express their voice while simultaneously showing learning. You are the master of the subject you teach, let a tool like Adobe Express be your partner in learning to give students an amazing tool to support their learning and expand beyond worksheets, paper posters, and basic slide decks.
I challenge you to spark creativity! Adobe Express is the new, reimagined Adobe Spark. It has a robust set of tools Adobe users will know and love but appropriately developed for Kindergarten through 12th grade students. Tools such as Adobe Express, Photoshop Express, and Rush allow for students to dive into the Adobe tools and the creation possibilities are endless!!! Did I mention it is FREE FOREVER for Educators and students K-12??? Adobe power with zero cost??? Where do I sign up??
If you have Google Workspace, Adobe Express Education Edition is as easy as signing in using your Google Workspace for Education account! If not, your IT department can set up a sign on option for your school district!
Log in with a school account.
Click Continue with Google.
Choose an account for Enterprise ID so it signs you in with the education version that is more robust.
Adobe Express is available through the web and on mobile apps! This allows for you to start on a tablet, then move to the web version with ease. They have a plethora of pre-made templates students can remix to make their own. You can also start from scratch.
Adobe integrates with Canvas as a powerful LTI and with Google Classroom so students can submit their designs in Adobe Express. They partner with big contenders like Wakelet and Flip to provide students and teachers with endless opportunities for creativity and sharing with the global community. Simply use the #adobeeducreative #adobeexpress #createforedu #adobeforEDU when interacting with the global community on social media!
One of my favorite things Adobe does are the creative challenges: https://edex.adobe.com/challenges . They put out a template regularly and challenge educators and students to remix it and share it out! It is so exciting to see what everyone creates!
