DTL Spotlight

This month's DTL theme is Knowledge Constructor. The Knowledge Constructor standard requires students critically curate a variety of resources using digital tools to construct knowledge, produce creative artifacts, and make meaningful learning experiences for themselves and others.

Well, Adobe is perfect for producing creative artifacts. In fact, Adobe introduced some fun new features in Adobe Express - including a new drawing feature. Students can draw to their heart's content with over 50 different digital brushes - They can create with any color, or use exclusive Multicolor brushes to create with any combination of colors. (Ever paint with a rainbow? Now you can!) Students will also find decorative brushes to take their artwork to the next level with stars, foliage, patterns, hearts, and more.

Learn more about this new feature here: https://www.adobe.com/express/learn/blog/drawing-for-education 

November, with its falling leaves and cozy sweaters, is like a warm hug from Mother Nature. It's the month where we gather around tables of Thanksgiving feasts, sharing smiles and pumpkin pie. Allow your students to build and disguise Thanksgiving Turkeys, play Google Arts & Culture's "Baguette Sprint" and more this month.
