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.

The Schoolai Community has a wealth of resources. From Resources, to Digital Events to Certified Educator Course the Community Hub is a great place to explore. Take some time to watch the video on the Schoolai Community and opportunities for learning more about Schoolai.
