Adobe Education K-12

I have created items for the International Baccalaureate Extended Essay process in Adobe Express. Are there any IB teachers, particularly librarians or Extended Essay coordinators who would like to collaborate on resources? Here is my sample:https://new.express.adobe.com/your-stuff/projects/urn:aaid:sc:VA6C2:b5f9370b-7fca-4220-954b-8aad4e9ab818?promoid=FMHMZ4HK&mv=other&openFrom=copy-link 

The week at ISTE was electric and featured YOU our community through and through!Reflecting on the week, it still brings a big smile to my face seeing the joy, learning, and a-ha moments at the Adobe booth and in ALL the sessions led by ACE Innovators and Leaders! This year was super special with student voice being celebrated and empowered with our Adobe Student Ambassadors ranging from middle school to higher education! Even before the doors opened and thousands of steps walked the conference halls, our team connected with ACE Innovator and University of Central Florida Professor and Limbitless Solutions Creative Director Matt Dobrowski and many other higher education faculty for an Adobe + Limbitless Solutions Higher Education event at the University of Central Florida Limbitless Solutions lab.  Beyond the technology and the curriculum strategies, what stood out most was the profound human connection. I watched faculty members meet face-to-face for the very first time, and witnessed

Hello ACE Community! ✨Can you believe we're here already? May. The home stretch. The final pages of the school year being written in real time.Last month, we explored alignment and juxtaposition — watching students discover how unexpected pairings can transform meaning and spark surprise. From lemon-balloons to reptile-eye coffee cups, your students proved (yet again) that creative storytelling lives in the connections we make.This month, we're closing out the year with something a little different. Instead of one challenge, we're sharing four End of Year Creative Wrap-Up activities designed to help students reflect on who they've become, what they've learned, and the moments that shaped their year. May Creative Wrap-Up Activities:Illustrate Your Yearbook Persona — Students design a personalized yearbook page that highlights their identity, achievements, and memories from the year. ➡️ Try it here: adobe.ly/creativewrapup1  Design a Vibe Check Poster — Students design a decorative poste

What a day! Yesterday we gathered a group of educators in Madrid for Spain’s very first community-led ACE Meetup. The goal was simple: take the first step, get to know Adobe Express, and get creative with fellow teachers who were inspired by the amazing possibilities for their classrooms! 🌼We spent the afternoon diving into Adobe Express, specifically introducing the interface and beginning by looking at teacher tools, such as bulk-creating labels - perfect for September! We then looked at resources available for students and explored ideas for igniting creativity in the classroom 🔥Some of my favourite moments were:Seeing jaws drop when teachers saw how easy it can be to generate a QR code The discussion around the centrality of creativity in our classrooms The ooohs and ahhhs for Adobe Aqua’s World Ocean featureFor those who attended (and those who couldn't make it), here see some links to the resources we explored during the session:• Adobe Express guided tour 😍new.express.adobe.c

Hello ACE Community! ✨We made it! The school year is officially behind most of us, and the calendar has finally exhaled.Last month, we closed things out with reflection — yearbook personas, vibe-check posters, story carousels, and audiograms that helped students name how far they'd come. This month, the doors are open! Maybe your students are fully into summer mode, maybe your library is gearing up for summer reading, maybe you're running a camp or a summer program, or maybe you're quietly planning for fall from a hammock (no judgment). Wherever you are, here's the thing: creativity doesn't take a vacation. So we're carrying those same four challenges into June, reframed for the season of long days, open time, and room to wander. June Creative ActivitiesIllustrate Your Yearbook Persona — Students design a personalized page that captures who they are right now: their identity, interests, and the version of themselves they're stepping into this summer. ➡️ Try it here: adobe.ly/creativewr

Hello ACE Community!Comic Creator just launched inside Adobe Express for Education, and as ACEs, you're among the first educators in the world to get hands on it. Students will get access at ISTE in June, which gives us a window this month to preview it with classes and bring real student voice back to the team.Comic Creator was shaped by educator feedback from the start, and that input is still actively informing what comes next. Your students bring the thinking — the prompt, the character choice, the visual theme, the dialogue, the sequencing — and Comic Creator helps them get a draft on the page in minutes so they can focus on revising and refining their story.A quick note on timing: Comic Creator is rolling out gradually to EDU accounts and is expected to reach everyone by around May 7th. If you don't see it in Adobe Express yet, give it a few days and check back — it's on its way.Here's the ask: Take about ten minutes this week to preview Comic Creator with a class. Demo it on scr

I'm planning to apply to universities abroad, but my academic records use a GWA grading system instead of GPA. Different universities seem to have different GPA scales and conversion methods, which makes the process a bit confusing. What is the best way to accurately convert GWA to GPA for admissions and scholarship applications? Are there any reliable tools or resources that can help with this? 

This was created for our Career Coaches to do push in lessons in grades 6-12. It is an introductory lesson to career exploration and Adobe Express. The slides feature a "messy" objective and slides for key vocabulary to increase comprehension among different learning groups. We used Pathful for career exploration but any platform can be used. Students use the Book Cover Guided Activity to complete the lesson. Designed to be a mini lesson and a short acitivity for student engagement (estimated classtime: 45 minutes).

Ik kan Photoshop Elements 2025 en Premiere Elements 2025 niet activeren op mijn nieuwe computer. Vermoedelijk staat de licentie nog gekoppeld aan mijn oude computer, die inmiddels buiten gebruik is gesteld.Kan de activatie gereset worden?

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

It’s not a question but I wanted to share how our Turriff and Huntly ACE meet-up/coffee and create sessions went. Week 1 I was with a group of 10 educators in Turriff. A couple had used Adobe Express before but the rest were newbies. Then yesterday I repeated the session in Huntly with a group of 18 educators. There were more in this group who had done a bit of Adobe dabbling before! We focussed on the Teach section looking at the wealth of resources and templates which can give us a starting point so we don’t have that “blank page” moment where you struggle to come up with ideas. Then we all had a go at the Community Quilt so we could see how easy the scaffolded Guided Activities makes a task. I was tempted to go with the Yearbook persona (loving this month’s challenges!) as a fab way to reflect on the year but I love how we can use the Community Quilt as a getting to know you activity - perfect for those transition visits with your new learners - so I stuck with that. It was also a g

As an educator and long-time Adobe user, being a part of the product feedback process has been an invaluable experience! It has been amazing to have a hand in receiving the resources I need to support students with emerging educational technology as I incorporate Adobe Express and other professional products into the classroom on a daily basis. Through this collaborative partnership, my students have even had the opportunity to sit down with the Adobe team and speak freely about their experience with Adobe Express, showing them that their opinions also matter – how powerful is that?! With thoughtful features like Generate Activity, I have been able to quickly assign creative exercises that support our students’ learning and still provide freedom for artistic interpretation. Now that this new feature is live, educators across the globe are finally able to generate a quick and relevant activity for their class that challenges students through creativity! By completing these activities, s

Hello fabulous ACEs! Something exciting is happening on April 21st, World Creativity and Innovation Day, and we want YOU to be part of it. We're hosting the ACE Create-a-Thon: Day of Creativity — a 24-hour global celebration where Adobe Creative Educators across the world will be creating, connecting, and answering one big question: What story does your creativity tell the world? For 24 consecutive hours, our community will come together through live Create Along sessions, a global Community Quilt in Adobe Express, Student Ambassador spotlights, and, this is where YOU come in, Classroom Connections. What are Classroom Connections?This is your chance to pair your students with a classroom from another part of the world for a creative exchange on April 21st.

Being part of the feedback process for the new Generate Activity feature has been one of those rare moments in education where you can actually see your voice make an impact. As a middle school librarian, I’m constantly looking for tools that showcase student creativity while still being realistic for teachers’ time and workflow. Contributing feedback and then watching those ideas show up in the final product was beyond meaningful — it reminded me that our classroom realities matter.Generate Activity has definitely changed the way I collaborate with teachers. Instead of spending hours designing activities from scratch, I can generate a starting point in seconds and customize it for the lesson. This sparks collaborative conversations with my teachers and removes any barriers between inspiration and implementation!When our RLA department began their Holocaust novel studies, an RLA teacher and I partnered to build a project using Generate Activity.We used the feature to build a Timeline o

Hello ACE Community! ✨ April takes us deeper into our Design Skills Series, and this month's concept is one of those "once you see it, you can't unsee it" moments. Last month, we explored balance in design, how designers use visual weight, symmetry, and asymmetry to create harmony and clarity. This month's challenge focuses on alignment and juxtaposition helping students discover how placing unexpected elements together can create meaning, surprise, and powerful visual storytelling. ➡️ April Guided Activity: Learn Alignment and Juxtaposition Try it here: adobe.ly/aprilchallenge26In this activity, students create their own composite from two different images, learning how alignment and juxtaposition work together to transform composition. Think lemon meets balloon. Reptile eye meets coffee cup. The magic is in the unexpected pairing and suddenly students are seeing connections everywhere they look. The results? Striking, surprising, and wildly fun to share. Like the rest of this series,

!--scriptorstartfragment-->Hello everyone, I am currently using a Dell Precision 5520 workstation equipped with an NVIDIA Quadro M1200 GPU. After extensive testing, I have confirmed that Photoshop and Illustrator 2024/2025 are unstable on my system. Due to DirectX 12 feature level limitations of the Quadro M1200, the applications frequently freeze and become unusable for production work. Photoshop 2023 (v24.x) and Illustrator 2023 (v27.x) are the last versions that run stably and reliably on this hardware configuration. To be clear, I am NOT requesting anyone to share installers, files, or download links. I would like to ask if there is any official or supported way to:- Access or enable Photoshop 2023 and Illustrator 2023 (legacy versions) on an active Creative Cloud subscription, or- Request account-level legacy access from Adobe Support due to confirmed hardware incompatibility with newer versions Any guidance from Adobe staff or knowledgeable community members would be greatly a

Hey everyone! 👋I'd love to start a thread where we can post ideas, templates, or even pictures to help share with each other what we use as our very first project with students when introducing Express!I teach a wide range of grades (Kinder-5th) so I have a different approach depending on the group of students I have in class but am always looking for other suggestions.In your response, please include --  • the grade/s you use the idea/template with 👩‍🏫  • a link, picture or description of the idea 🔗🖼️️  • anything else you think might be helpful 💭I can't wait to brainstorm with all of y'all! 🥰

Welcome to the Adobe Creative Educator (ACE) Leader Community — a space built for educators who believe creativity is more than something we teach. It's part of how we grow, and it's how our students find their voice. Inside this community, you’ll find: Conversations that spark curiosity (and joy) Projects and ideas you can adapt across subjects and grade levels Educators who share freely — what worked, what didn't, and what's next Creative inspiration across all Adobe tools from Express to Photoshop, Premiere, Firefly, and beyond Student Ambassador program resources that help you put students in the driver's seat — amplifying their voice, creativity, and leadership in and beyond your classroom Leadership opportunities that help you grow your impact whether that's presenting, mentoring, or guiding peers…and so much more. ✨Because here's what we believe: when educators feel seen, heard, and valued, they show up even better for the students who are the reason we do all of this. You don’t

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.
