CFB provides school/district enterprise accounts. Teachers will not make individual classroom accounts. Codes are not needed.
Students using Chromebooks and staff will reference the "Getting Started with Students" section to see the best way to log in correctly.
Students using iPads will download the app from the Securly Locker app. On the Adobe Express app homepage, click "Have an Adobe ID or Education account? Log in" and reference the same "Getting Started with Students" directions to log in.
Adobe Express for Education K12 accounts are built to meet K12 student data privacy needs, and are different from Adobe Express commercial accounts. Click here if interested in the details of our Adobe Express for Education accounts.
**This program can be used with all age groups
First Log-in - When logging in the first time, students may be asked a few questions. One pertains to confirming their account is for school/education projects and the other has them rate how familiar they are with Adobe Express.
Special Note - when sharing a project with students or when students are turning in a project, get the project's shareable link. Some may have duplicate accounts if account was created prior to the district populating accounts. Therefore sharing the project itself may not work effectively.
