As students and teachers get ready for the coming school year, Adobe Express for Education team has been hard at work, preparing our biggest launch of the year for K12 students and educators worldwide
Adobe Express for Education is the AI creativity app that is designed to be classroom safe, with responsible generative AI that’s collaborative, easy, and improves student engagement and impactful communication skills – free for K12!
This fall, Adobe Express is bringing new generative AI tools, guided activities and feature enhancements to the K12 Education edition. Read ahead to learn more about our most exciting features coming this Back to School.
Classroom-ready with responsible AI
With Adobe Express, teachers can introduce generative AI to students as another tool to think creatively, while making sure students are still learning in a safe way.
Adobe guardrails on generative AI prompts and outputs encourage appropriate use and we give district admins the ability to toggle on and off our generative AI features. Lastly, Adobe does not include student projects from K12 and Higher Ed institutions in training datasets for generative AI. See the great additions below:
- Adobe Express generative AI, now available in MagicSchool — Adobe Express generative AI image editing features make AI more expressive and visual within MagicSchool.
- Generate template — From book report posters to club flyers, students can create their very own templates from text prompts.
Engage students with easy creative projects
Teachers can get students excited about learning and empower them to demonstrate their knowledge in creative ways:
- Enhanced presentations — presentations now include record your own voiceovers, music, video, animation, and Present mode with presenter notes! Choose from 150+ new templates to get started quickly or import from Google Slides
- Data charts — Adobe Express can now create data charts, including pie, progress gage, donut charts, and bar charts, with tables coming this Back to School!
