• "I learned how to successfully navigate Adobe Express, by making AI generated images, Videos and sheets about me, and making moving words/sentences. I can use those skills to transfer those into websites in school and my future career."

• "I think that learning how to write a newspaper was the most helpful because it can help me later write bigger and better things. My favorite project was the newscast project because it was a fun collaborative project. "

•  "I learned how to use Adobe Express. I learned how to use video-editing techniques and how to combine photos with text. This could be helpful for creating digital media or works of art."

• "Something I enjoyed was generating AI images on Adobe Express, and being creative about it. Also, Bloxels was fun because we got to create our own game."

•  "I learned how to use Adobe Express to create multiple types of media such as video, images, and documents. I think this is helpful because being able to create these types of media will help me in the future."
