Recently, the Digital Learning Team joined Education Scotland on a visit to find out how schools were integrating Adobe Express into their classrooms. We found some very exciting lessons going on across P5-7 at Bankton Primary School in Livingston.
What made the lessons stand out was the seamless integration of digital tools that enhanced the high quality teaching and learning which was already going on in the classrooms.
Highlights included:
- Each lesson featured clear learning intentions and success criteria.
- The environment allowed for learners to collaborate, support, and share ideas freely.
- The projects had a distinct purpose. Most learners articulated, in their own words, the reasons behind their video or poster creations and their intended audience. This understanding guided their choices of creative elements within Adobe Express, allowing for thoughtful and intentional design.
- Learners drew upon their research and discussions from previous lessons, weaving this knowledge into their projects, which showcased not only their creativity but also their depth of understanding.
“I think Adobe Express is great because it helps you to create an image. You can choose what you want it to look like and you learn a lot. It’s fun making things and I like it. There’s still so much to learn on it. It’s easy to delete it if you don’t like parts of it. You use lots of creativity!”
