Personal Use of the Program

My school district does have an educational license for Adobe Creative Suite, which includes Adobe Express. During one of my previous Baldwin Wallace courses, I used this resource to create a few documents. Below are screenshots of what Adobe Express looks like as an App from my phone, as well as two resources I created. I have not used Adobe Express enough to have a clear idea of all the amazing features. I have yet to create any videos or presentations using it. From my research, it looks like this would be an amazing resource for educators to use, especially those new to digital video editing and creating.
