• Teachers – have a look at the education professional learning opportunities available via the Adobe Education Exchange?

Over the past week, I had the pleasure of attending the student showcase events for the first ever Australian versions of the Adobe Youth Voices (AYV) Program.

• Victoria event – June 19 – ACMI (Melbourne)
• NSW event – June 26 – Quakers Hill High School

It was a joy to see the video work that a large number of Victorian and NSW State School students created for the AYV program. AYV is about giving students a voice and providing them with the software and skills to collaborate and communicate their stories creatively.

Special thank you to the Victorian Department of Education, the NSW Department of Education and Communities and iEarn Australia for their partnership with this program.

Stay tuned for a CreatEDU TV story about the showcase events and links to the best of the students work.
