Adobe Express is continuing to empower and inspire the next generation of creators, marketers, data scientists and business leaders, enabling them to first succeed in school, and then enter the workforce with competitive advantages.

When making this announcement, India’s Minister of Education said, In the time of digitisation, new ideas, new innovation and creativity, this partnership is going to create a new standard and benchmark for students … I congratulate the entire education ecosystem for having a collaborative MoU with an important multinational and global company, who with its knowledge and capacity will go beyond.

Over 700 state school teachers from all over Queensland took part in two busy days of conferencing at the 2023 iEducate Conference on Sept 1 & 12. It was a delight to partner with Data#3 to share the value of Adobe tools in all curriculum areas.

Education QLD’s (EQ) Information and Technologies Branch ran this annual event the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre and attracted teachers, school leaders, ICT coordinators and IT Admin support staff from throughout the state.

Adobe Express was recently opened up to all EQ schools. Sharing this news was a highlight and very pleasing for many of the teachers.

Matt Scholz, EQ teacher at Forest Lake State High School, and Adobe Creative Educator helped me run a number of sessions and did a great job sharing the many advantages of working a range of Adobe tools.
