Engage Your Student Citizens with a Media Diet Reflection

This month for our Adobe Update we are excited to share a dynamic new project using Adobe Express: Design a Web Page to Reflect on Your Media Diet perfect for developing Engaged Citizens. 

In this activity, students analyze their own media consumption, reflect on how information shapes their views, and then use Adobe Express to design web pages that visually represent their findings. This creative process builds critical media literacy, helping students understand the sources and impact of their daily information intake.

This project directly supports the Engaged Citizen element in our Portrait of a Graduate. By examining the role of media and sharing their reflections with peers, students learn to be informed, thoughtful participants in their communities. They develop the ability to question, evaluate, and act responsibly in a digital world—essential skills for contributing meaningfully to society now and in the future.

Every January, the global education community heads to London for Bett, the "World’s Fair" of EdTech. It is the stage where Google for Education sets the tone for the year ahead. Google led the charge with some massive 2026 updates, focusing on Gemini and other Workspace tools. The following presentation highlights these major rollouts and what they mean for our classrooms.

Here's the TL;DR:

  1. Create infographics using NotebookLM:
  2. Gemini will soon be available in ALL Workspace tools, including Gmail:
  3. Gemini within Google Translate: Live speech-to-speech translations with headphones, and adding new languages to the app for practice and skill building.
  4. Class Tools Upgrade: Teachers can now mirror their own or a student’s screen to the classroom display.
