Every time I scroll through our forum, socials, or join in our meetings, I’m reminded that what makes the ACE program so special isn’t just the tools we use — it’s you. The ideas you share, the joy you bring to learning, and the way you show up for one another.

This community is full of creative educators who lift each other up, who remind us that learning can be playful and purposeful, and who believe that creativity has the power to change lives...starting in our classrooms.

So let’s celebrate that!

I love that everyone cheers everyone else on. The simplest sharing of an idea or how a pupil became engaged is enough of a motivation to get logged back on and try it in my own classroom. My pupils love Adobe Express so much that some of them are logging on from home and finishing class-based projects without even being asked - which means they then become my very own ACE Mentors within my classroom. It's the best when a child becomes the tutor!

YES @J Matthews - - this made me smile big time! I'm all about the cheering for each other! We have so much to celebrate and also acknowledge the epic inspirations this community shares so generously with each other. It's awesome to hear that your students are inspired to keep working on their projects and then mentor each other in your classroom. WOW. Truly awesome. Thanks for sharing this!

I love being part of the Adobe community. From the beginning it has been very welcoming and I love the global collaboration. ACE members are creative and willing to share their good ideas and practices. I love how Adobe Express is accessible to all and has such a variation of tasks possible.

As a class teacher, deputy head, and Adobe Creative Educator Innovator, the best part of being in the Adobe Express community is the shared creativity and connection.

It’s inspiring to be part of a global network of educators and learners who use creativity to express identity, celebrate culture, and make learning come alive. Whether it’s a digital storytelling project, a reflection on belonging, or a creative collaboration across countries, there is always someone ready to inspire, support, and share ideas.

What I value most is how accessible Adobe Express is. Every learner, regardless of age or ability, can create something meaningful and personal. Watching students bring their voices to life through design and storytelling reminds me every day why creativity belongs at the heart of education.

Just wanted to add a reply here and say that I agree - shared creativity and connection - these 2 things have been transormational for me, finding community when I was still in the classroom, stepping into my TOSA role, and now working in the field of EDU Community support for the last 7 years. Learning with and from each other is always inspiring and empowering, but the connections... those have been life changing. Thank you for sharing your thoughts here. The joy that comes from learning and creating together but also seeing folks of all ages be empowered to design something, make it come to life and share it in their own unique way... that's what hits me right in my heart. ❤️

The ACE community, at my own ignorance, is the community I've been engaged in for the shortest amount of time. However, I think the ACE community + ACE program has had the largest magnitude on the teaching and learning in my classroom!

Where my creative brain gets stuck is in the launch phase. My challenge is wanting to spin around the perfect premise for an idea before I hop into anything else. The challenges, the content shared by folx in the community, and the different opportunities to grow have made it easier for me to not only start, but to remix amazing things created by educators around the world.

I've also got to meet some dope folx too, and I can't wait to get more engaged!

You hit the nail on the head for me with this too @always_clicking! Postive engagements, support, energy and inspiration is flowing freely here and the community spirit to help each other is so authentic and genuine. When I see what you all create and share, I feel challenged in positive ways to try something new and broaden my perspective.
