Google announced in this year’s ISTELive Edtech conference that it has partnered with Adobe on providing a licensed Adobe Express program across Chromebooks. The aim of this launch is to provide schools with easy access to Adobe Express so they can distribute the platform to students, hence encouraging and promoting creation of more immersive and innovative projects and experiments.
Adobe Express is a free-of-cost design platform where users
can create digital art using a variety of basic content creation tools. Google has
launched direct access of Adobe Express in the Google Admin console, which can
be easily enabled by an IT administrator for access by a school or class. The Adobe
Express icon can also be pinned to Chromebooks’ Shelf for easier access.
Additionally, the integration will offer teachers the option to assign, leave comments on, and grade Adobe Express projects within Google Classroom. It will be also possible for students to work collaboratively on their Adobe Express projects.
