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.

The "Responsible Teammate" skill is part of our commitment to helping students work well with others. It encourages kids to be reliable and to contribute positively when they work in groups. This skill is important because it helps students learn how to collaborate, compromise, and support each other, which are valuable skills both in school and in their future careers. Using the "Responsible Teammate" skill can help students learn how to communicate effectively, resolve conflicts, and achieve shared goals, which enhances their learning experience and prepares them for real-world situations.

This month, we are using this Creative Challenge from Adobe to help students illustrate how they see themselves as individuals, beyond their grades and test scores. In this "More than a Score" challenge, students and educators design a graphic in Adobe Express to capture the diverse and unique qualities they (or their students) possess beyond their academic acumen.

Creative Challenge Student Example

Students will be able to:

  • Evaluate evidence of personal project work and/or personal skills development.
  • Communicate effectively with their peers and/or audience.
  • Use the design process to generate useful or imaginative solutions for problems.

Check out this quick tutorial on how to use the student-friendly template:

The week of Sept 16th, 2024, Adobe changed the way teachers and students in our district sign in to their Adobe products. The good news is that we still have the statewide Adobe contract that gives free premium access to all of the Adobe apps for all teachers and students. We just have to do the following steps to reconnect your account to the Jordan license.

Step 1: First close any Adobe apps you are trying to use and open whatever default web browser you have and navigate to www.adobe.com and sign out of your account. Click the profile icon in the upper right corner and click "sign out".

Do the same steps for the Creative Cloud application installed on your computer. You have to sign out of both the browser and the desktop versions. The installed app should look like this:

Close both the browser and the Creative Cloud application.

Step 2: Next open a new browser window again and navigate back to www.adobe.com and click the sign in button in the upper right corner.

On the sign in screen, DO NOT USE THE GOOGLE BUTTON to sign in. Simply type your school email address, press continue and on the next screen it should direct you to login to your Google account by typing your Jordan district email address.

If you see a prompt asking if it’s a "Personal" or "Company or School Account", click the option that says school account.

Step 3: Once you've successfully logged into your Adobe account again, you should see that your apps have a button below them that says "Request Access". Click on the "Request Access" button and it will quickly flash that access was granted and it should allow you to use your apps again.

If you still cannot login, please contact Kiera Beddes for further support.
