Enhance creativity in any curriculum area with Adobe

“Creativity now is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status.” Sir Ken Robinson, 2006. When Sir Ken Robinson made this statement during his 2006 TED Talk (still the most watch TED Talk) it was considered controversial. Today, the importance of creativity in society and the business world is accepted as normal thinking but it is still a fight to give creativity a strong status in education. This presentation by Dr Tim Kitchen from Adobe, will outline the importance of enhancing creativity in all curriculum areas. It will also provide practical support around how and why Adobe tools can make such a positive difference to digital literacy, communication engagement and (most importantly) creativity within any curriculum area.

Day 2 @ 10:40

Adobe Breakout Session - Get creative in any curriculum area with Adobe

Last December, Adobe gifted all K-12 schools globally a package of amazing applications and resources called Adobe Express for Education. Formerly known as Adobe Spark, but with lots more features, this new & free browser based resource is the ideal platform for creating graphics, infographics, video stories, webpages and more. Designed to be low-lift but have high impact, these tools can be used in any curriculum area. Even school principals can use them! This workshop, led by Dr Tim Kitchen from Adobe as well as a dedicated group of Adobe Education Leaders from a range of Victorian schools, will go through how to access the tools, get started and manage projects. Practical examples will also be shared on how these tools are making such a positive difference to K-12 classrooms all over the globe.
