Session description

Learn five creative projects that integrate creativity, advocacy and student voice with the free tool Adobe Express. We'll explore fun methods for creating social media graphics, film and web design that offer educators and students an opportunity to promote causes from mental health and social-emotional learning to STEAM, edtech and innovation in education.

Purpose & objective

Participants will learn 5 new advocacy projects as well as a number of new skills such as making social media graphics, photo editing, creating templates, editing video, designing a website portfolio using Adobe Express. All of the projects will be showcased in a web portfolio which we build together during the workshop which will become a resource for educators to use when using it in their own schools. They will also create and share the projects using social media at the end of the workshop.
