ISTE Standard: Empowered Learner

Adobe Express has been completely re-imagined as an all-in-one creative tool perfect for any classroom. This short video demonstrates how to use all-new creation and collaboration features with students.

Collaboration plays a crucial role in empowering learners. It builds a community of learners where students can share ideas, challenge each other's thinking, and build new understanding. This not only enhances their problem-solving and critical thinking skills, but also boosts their self-confidence and autonomy, preparing them for the collaborative nature of the workforce.
