Stop Motion Projects in Adobe Express: Unleashing Creative Problem Solvers

Our resource this month is the possibility of students bringing their ideas to life with stop motion projects in Adobe Express! This hands-on activity challenges them to plan, design, and troubleshoot each step of the animation process—just like true Creative Problem Solvers.

Stop motion is a filmmaking technique where students take a series of photos of objects or drawings, moving them slightly each time. When these images are played in sequence, it creates the illusion of movement. In Adobe Express, students can easily upload their photos, arrange them in order, add text or audio, and produce a polished stop motion animation—all within a user-friendly platform that encourages experimentation and creativity!

Check out these student examples and teaching materials to adapt for your own stop motion project here:

As students innovate and adapt to bring stories to life frame by frame, students flex their critical thinking, resourcefulness, and creativity, supporting our Portrait of a Graduate vision.

Guided Learning Journals in Adobe Express: Fostering Curious Thinkers

This month's Adobe update, we are excited to show you how students can use Adobe Express to create digital learning journals. This guided activity encourages students to document their questions, reflect on new ideas, and explore topics that spark their curiosity. You can access the guided learning activity here: Learning Journal Guided Activity.

The guided activity provides a template and short instructional videos teaching users how to create the project. A fun and easy way to get started thinking creativity & curiously.

By capturing daily thoughts and discoveries, students practice being Curious Thinkers—a key trait in our Portrait of a Graduate. They learn to ask questions, seek multiple perspectives, and remain open to new ideas, building habits that will serve them in and beyond the classroom.
