Introducing Adobe Creative Cloud Express. Quickly and easily make standout content from thousands of beautiful templates.
Adobe Creative Cloud Express is a new web-based app that allows you to create graphics and photos on the go.
Adobe Express can be used in all content areas as a way to have students show what they know and might help to build the following digital learning competencies, as described in BSD's Technology Scope & Sequence.
Students can use Adobe Express to create videos in order to demonstrate their learning; this works great to explain their conducted research, summarize a current event or book they have completed reading, as well as communicate different viewpoints. Think about allowing students to explore documentaries, video book reports and book trailers, PSA's, and more.
Utilize graphic design principles to create digital content such as posters, flyers, webpages, and/or infographics that make data driven arguments and communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively.
Teachers can use this tool to create content for students, create icons and banners for presenting to students or use in Adobe Express.
This tool is a part of a suite of tools that can be used to help in Universal Design, informational Design, as well as thinking about accessibility for all students.
Digital Framework Connections:
The SAMR model, developed by Dr. Ruben Puentedura (see more here), reminds us to think about ways to use technology to redefine tasks and add functions that could not be done without the technology, rather than substitutions all the time. Below are some ways Adobe Creative Express can be used at each stage of the SAMR Model.
Substitution: Students use Adobe Express in place of traditional storytelling techniques.
Augmentation: Videos, graphics, and multimedia posts enrich storytelling methods.
Modification: Stories made with Adobe Express can be easily shared digitally online.
Redefinition: Express allows enhanced customization and sharing with interested readers.
