Our DTL monthly theme is Digital Citizen. One way to help students be better digital citizens is teaching them how to use digital tools responsibly. Artificial Intelligence tools are reshaping the landscape of education and it's up to educators to help students navigate this change well.

Check out Adobe Firefly! Adobe Firefly is a separate website you can find at firefly.adobe.com. It's a place where you can come up with new ideas, make cool stuff, and communicate with creativity. Plus, it makes your creative projects way easier and faster to do with the help of smart AI technology.

There are a variety of tools you can play around with in Adobe Firefly:

  • Try the Text to Image to write interesting text prompts to see what it creates visually.
  • Try the Generative Fill tool to edit or alter your images based on your guidelines.
  • Play around with the Text Effects tool to apply endless styles or textures to text prompts.
  • And lastly, the Generative Recolor option is a great tool to alter vector images.
