One of the best parts of teaching is celebrating what our students create. Whether it’s a thoughtful digital poster, a multimedia story, or a collaborative class project. Those moments of creativity deserve to be seen.   With the new view-only Gallery links in Adobe Express, teachers can safely open a window into the classroom and invite caretakers, families, and school leaders to celebrate student learning.     Why this matters for educators Safety first. Student work is published in a secure, view-only format—no edits, no downloads, just a showcase. Celebration beyond the classroom. Share links in parent newsletters, school social media, or family nights so the broader community can appreciate student voices. Portfolio ready. Students can build collections that travel with them—perfect for college readiness, end-of-year reflections, or capstone projects. Admin-friendly. If your org has asset restrictions turned on, links will only be visible to members of the same or

Hi all! I tried my best to cover all three days in under three minutes. Tough job, because this summit was stacked!!

There’s something electric that happens when passionate educators gather in one space—and at ISTELive25, that spark became a wildfire of creativity, connection, and collective joy. From the buzzing energy of our Adobe booth to the quiet moments of encouragement in hallway conversations, the heartbeat of this conference wasn’t the tech (although it was awesome)—it was the people.   Here are just a few of the unforgettable ways this community showed up, shared boldly, and shaped something bigger than any single session. We Walked Into ISTE TogetherWe kicked things off with our first-ever Generative AI Photo Walk at ISTE, where 113 educators gathered with cameras, creativity, and curiosity in hand. Yes, the photo tips were great. Yes, the donuts were excellent. But the best part? The conversations. The connections. The laughter over coffee before the official sessions even began.     We Shared Ideas That MatterFrom podcasting and moviemaking to student-led entrepreneurship
