Questions

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 

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

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?

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

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

!--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! 🥰

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

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, 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

I am using the Adobe XMP Toolkit to add or modify XMP metadata in supported file formats. Currently, when XMP data is written and CloseFile() is called, the toolkit creates a temporary file and then replaces the original file with this temp file. From my understanding, this replacement is handled internally (possibly via the DeriveTemp API). Functionally, this works as expected. However, this approach is not ideal for my use case because when the original file is replaced the file attributes and permission are not same as previous. What I am looking for is a method or recommended approach to update or replace XMP metadata directly in the same file And also i found a method in TXMPFiles.incl_cpp. the method is: #if XMP_StaticBuild // ! Client XMP_IO objects can only be used in static builds. XMP_MethodIntro(TXMPFiles,bool):: OpenFile ( XMP_IO *       clientIO,    XMP_FileFormat format /*

Hi everyone,I’m working on creating simple academic visuals and reports for students, and I often need to calculate weighted grades accurately before designing charts or summaries.Manually computing weighted averages for multiple subjects with different credit units can be confusing and time-consuming, especially when accuracy matters for final results.I wanted to ask:What’s the best method you use to calculate weighted grades?Do you rely on spreadsheets, formulas, or online tools before moving to design or presentation work?Thanks in advance!

I used this month’s Adobe Express Starter Pack Guided Activity to help students analyze a character in a whole-class novel by focusing on the objects that define them. Think identity, growth, symbolism… without another worksheet in sight. 📚The best part? You can remix the instructions inside the guided activity and personalize it for your classroom: any book, any subject, any grade, any character. Model it once, then let students take the lead.This worked beautifully for character analysis, SEL conversations, and student voice (hello, Auggie from Wonder 🧡).🔁 Remix it🎨 Customize it📖 Make it yours Thanks Adobe for EDU for making Guided Activities customizable for our students!🔗 https://adobe.ly/3YFEuV9.
