In late 2024, three significant developments boosted the integration of Adobe Express in Australian classrooms:

1. Adobe Express was re-accredited with Safer Technologies for Schools (ST4S) for another two years.
2. It received official endorsement from the Victorian Department of Education, making it accessible to all students and teachers via the EduPass single sign-on (SSO) system.
3. It became available to all students and staff in the Queensland Department of Education through their SSO system.

This is fantastic news, opening up a wealth of new creative opportunities for students and teachers across Australia in 2025.

Here are four standout features of Adobe Express that set it apart from similar applications:

1. The full-premium version is available for free to all K-12 schools globally (find out more).
2. The Animate characters tool enables students to share their voices through a variety of delightful animated characters.
3. All Adobe Express projects (posters, flyers, animations, videos, webpages, etc.) have direct access to a K-12 friendly version of Adobe Stock, which includes millions of royalty-free images and thousands of video and audio assets.
4. Adobe Express is registered with the ANZ Safer Technologies for Schools (ST4S) program.

To celebrate the 2025 Back to School period, I have created a set of short video tutorials aimed at helping students and teachers make the most of the Animate characters feature and access Adobe Stock.

These tutorials can also be found as a YouTube playlist.
