Hello ACE Community! ✨March brings us to the second activity in our Design Skills Series, where students continue building the foundational skills that help them think like designers. Last month, we explored emphasis and movement, how designers guide the viewer’s eye to what matters most. This month’s challenge focuses on balance in design, helping students experiment with how visual elements work together to create harmony, clarity, and strong communication. ➡️ March Guided Activity: Learn Balance in DesignTry it here: https://adobe.ly/adobemarchchallenge In this activity, students experiment with different t-shirt designs while exploring how designers balance images, color, and composition. Instead of simply placing elements randomly, they begin thinking intentionally about visual weight, symmetry, asymmetry, and how designs feel to the viewer. Like the rest of this series, the goal isn’t just creating something that “looks good.”It’s helping students understand why certain design ch

We had great fun exploring the different features available in Adobe Express. Our NI innovators demonstrated the use of the drawing tool, guided activities and more. 

This March it is Science week in the UK. The theme is ‘Curiosity; What’s your question’ I created a promotional school video with my pupils (pupil voice) to showcase what our science department is putting on.https://new.express.adobe.com/publishedV2/urn:aaid:sc:EU:c9cb143d-f26e-438c-ac2b-fb7561478b41?promoid=Y69SGM5H&mv=otherPoster and video competitions can be coordinated through an Adobe classroom and join code and it is quick and easy to create QR codes too all within Adobe Express.It was fun putting the video together with pupils and it got me thinking what other school events/competitions/clubs could be coordinated in this manner?

In Wales, we’re all asked to publish a Curriculum Rationale — something that explains what our school is about, what matters to us, and the kinds of learning experiences we offer.I wanted a way to share ours that looked professional, was easy to update, and felt a bit more engaging than a PDF on a website — and Adobe Express Webpage has been perfect for that!With Adobe Express, I was able to:Bring our rationale to life with images, videos, and linksTell our school’s story visually in a clean, modern formatUpdate content quickly whenever things evolveShare the link easily with staff, families, governors, and the wider communityIt’s honestly such a great tool — not just for classroom projects, but for educators and leaders to share information and ideas digitally in a professional way.If you’re thinking about how to present your school’s curriculum rationale (or any school-wide initiative) in a way that really shines, give Adobe Express Webpage a go. It’s simple, flexible, and looks fant

Hello ACE Community! ✨This month, we’re introducing a brand-new direction for our Guided Activities!February kicks off our Design Skills Series, a monthly focus on the building blocks of strong visual communication.Rather than focusing on a polished final product, this series helps students learn how to think like designers making intentional choices that guide the viewer’s eye and communicate one clear idea.Students will explore the why behind good design, beginning with emphasis and movement!February Guided Activity: Learn Emphasis & Movement➡️ Try it here: https://adobe.ly/adobefebchallengeUsing Adobe Express, students create a simple poster that communicates one clear message by intentionally using contrast, scale, placement, and movement. It’s less about “making it pretty” and more about understanding why certain design choices work.Why This MattersThis challenge represents a meaningful shift in how we support creative learning. Instead of starting with templates that look fin

I was excited to lead sessions for students, at Stranmillis University, showcasing Adobe Express. Participants had the opportunity to explore lots of features and create their own portfolio. It is always a pleasure to meet future creative educators. Here are some of our favourite creations:

Hi ACE friends, One of my favorite parts of this community is how much we learn just by listening to one another. After our January meetup with Lauren and Rachael, and hearing how they use podcasting with their students to elevate voice and confidence, I kept thinking about how powerful audio can be for connection. I also know how full your days are! So this month, we’re sharing Creative Pulse, a short audio check-in designed to help you stay connected to the ACE Leader community in under two minutes. It’s a quick January recap, a few community shout-outs, a YAWL moment you helped make happen, and what’s coming up next. I’ve added a short audiogram to this post (created with Adobe Podcast) so you can listen right here. ⬇️ If you give it a listen, I’d love to know what you think! Grateful to be learning alongside you,❤️ Martha

Hi, I am subscribed to the creative cloud for years. I just started university. I am a student now and I know there is a special plan for student that is less expensive. How can I change for this plan ? I thought I would just cancel my current plan and subscribe again as a student but If I do that, I have a cancellation fee of $300…Any idea how can I change my plan to a student plan ?Thanks a lot ! Esther

Title: ACE Global Book Club – Chapters 11-13 🥳 Hi ACE party people! This week we’re exploring robots, AR/VR, and AI-oh my! 🤖 Big idea: I really enjoyed the thoughfulness in layering in digital citizenship within these more complex topics. For example, while grappling with how to teach AI, Tim pointed out a perfect time to cover AI bias. On page 129, "This is also a good opportunity to discuss AI bias: students may not intentially add bad data, but if they are using a tool..." was discussed while teaching students how to add information into a dataset. By getting students to CREATE their own AI agent themselves allows them to truly understand how AI works. But what I loved about this project was that it was ambedded in the overall lesson idea of creating a work of art. I also have to give a call out to the many quotes and themes I noticed withint these chapters which was just simply, technology is cool. Hard stop. That's it. When we create opportunities

Whatever language your school teaches, the new Podcast feature on Adobe Express is the perfect way to share language learning—not just within your school, but with listeners across the world! In Wales, all schools must learn Welsh, even if learners primarily speak English. To promote the Welsh language, our school, Ysgol Bryn Gwalia, has a Senedd (school government) made up of different pupil-led groups. One of these groups is Criw Cymraeg (Welsh Crew), who work hard to celebrate and promote the use of Welsh throughout the school. By using the podcast feature in Adobe Express, Criw Cymraeg now share our Welsh Phrase of the Fortnight with the whole community. This has been incredibly positive for our learners—they are developing confidence in speaking, presenting, teamwork, digital literacy, and creative communication skills. They take pride in preparing each episode and love knowing their voices can reach people beyond the classroom. This is a perfect example of how lang

Good morning,  I am so thrilled to kick-off our ACE Global Book Club.  This week we are diving into the Intro and Chapters 1-4. Did anyone else feel like the author, Tim Needles, totally gets them? I felt myself saying " Yes, this what I needed to hear" The entire time I was reading.  My biggest takeaways: Art is accesible to every single person and every single student. Art doesn't have to be traditional. It's all about letting our students explore and be creative. So many of us focus on all the compenents of STEAM, but forget to incorporate art.  Questions to discuss: How do we as educators build safe spaces to allow our students opportunites to learn from their failures and grow?  No matter what you teach, how do you intentially embed creativity and art into the curriculum and allow students to express themselves?Tim mentions that limitation breed creativity and critical thinking. Why does upcycling really reflect this

Hi Book Club friends.  This week, we are discussing coding, digital drawing & design, and 3D design, printing, and construction. My key takeaway: I know we have mentioned this in our chats, but I love how Tim integrates art with technology. He makes art accessible while also getting students to be creative in so many different ways. The scaffolding and peer interaction make all students creative in varying ways.  Questions for this week:  In Chapter 8, Time mentions the importance of coding. We know this is an important skill for many of our students. In what ways, do you make coding accessible for your students? Are there ways you integrate art with coding?  In Chapter 9, Tim highlights the power of peer feedback and collaborative drawing to make digital art more interactive and community-centered. How do you encourage peer interaction and feedback in your own digital drawing activities? What tech tools help you make this happ

Hi ACE people!! 👋This week we’re exploring animation, photography, social media, and podcasting (A personal favorite of mine😉)! Big idea: Embed projects/assessments into the actual world our students live in. When I read these 3 chapters, what really jumped out at me was the idea that all these projects were based out of the world around us and not just confined to the 4 walls of our students. Oftentimes, we as educators think just within the boundaries of our classroom; the big test, the school year, and oftentimes miss the opportunity to help our students reach out to their own world. I loved the explicit example lessons given for students so they could connect with the world around them and amplify their student voice! 🎙️️Question for you: When is a time that you've worked with students in amplifying their voice into their world? Did you have any constraints? Is school built for this type of work?  OPTIONAL: Include an image th
