Adobe Express for education is designed to be classroom safe with responsible generative AI that's collaborative, easy and improves student engagement and communication.

"Adobe Express for Education is built by and with teachers, with AI that's designed to be safe for the classroom," said Mala Sharma, VP and general manager, creators and education for Adobe's Digital Media Business. "For more than three decades, Adobe has been creating technologies to help students succeed in the classroom and in the job market and we're excited to bring our responsible AI approach to this next chapter."

Enhance Teaching and Learning with Generative AI Designed to Be Safe for the Classroom
Adobe Express for Education now offers even more AI features that empower teacher and student voices, including:
Boosting Creative Skills and Classroom Engagement
An Adobe survey of K-12 educators found that teachers who use creative activities in the classroom see 82% greater student engagement. With Adobe Express for Education, teachers and students have access to industry-leading creativity technologies only Adobe can provide to help make learning more creative and effective for students, while enabling teachers to save valuable class time. Key features include:
Amplifying Impact with Professional Development, Certification and Student Curriculum
Adobe provides Adobe Express for Education free to K-12 teachers and students and also offers free support to help teachers embed Adobe Express for Education-including AI features-deep into the curriculum while also helping them fulfill professional development requirements with badging and certifications. Adobe Express for Education has an extensive library of K-12 resources, including subject-specific, step-by-step guidance, more than 13,000 of high-quality templates purpose-built for students and dozens of guided activities for core curricular areas (English, Math, Science and Social Studies) that teach subject mastery alongside key visual creativity and communications skills.
"For today's K-12 educators, it's critical that we integrate AI into our classroom curriculum, but simply having access to AI tools isn't enough," said Christine Morgan, a teacher at Cypress-Fairbanks ISD at Hairgrove Elementary. "Adobe's team of educators-turned-technologists offers a comprehensive approach-from their responsible AI technologies to professional development to curriculum-they know what it takes to help teachers and students succeed in the classroom and beyond."
