Even though it's the summer, the fun never stops with Adobe! The DTL team will be out of the office during July, but you can sign up for these self-paced Adobe classes through the Utah Education Network over the summer.

In this course, participants will access four of the training courses available through the Adobe Education Exchange to learn about the importance of creativity in the classroom.  Participants will learn to use several Adobe creative tools, including Adobe Express and Adobe Premiere Rush. As they learn these tools, they will consider how to integrate them into the curriculum effectively. By completing this course, participants will also qualify for Adobe Creative Educator: Level 1 status.

This course is designed to help teachers learn software available through Adobe and apply these skills to inspire creativity in their classrooms. To accomplish this, participants will complete a series of mini-courses that are available through the Adobe Education Exchange. Participants will need to complete the mini-course, “Design Your Creative Class” and then complete nine additional hours in the Adobe Education Exchange.  This flexibility will allow teachers to focus on the software that they are most interested in.  After completing this UEN course, participants will qualify for the Adobe Creative Educator: Level 2 status.
