Spanish class brought to life! This week's #FeatureTeacherFriday, Andrea Vallejo's Spanish 2 students used iPads to film, edit, and voiceover their morning routines in iMovie to showcase their language skills. Peer feedback on Schoology made it even better! #RISDDreamOn
Audio creation made accessible! 🎙️ Adobe Express Animate from Audio provides the perfect launchpad for students to apply their writing and speaking skills at higher cognitive levels. We love seeing our student creators in action! 💫 #AdobeEduCreative
@JJPearceHS biology students brought genetics to life! 🧬 Using @adobeexpress, students scripted and voiced animated characters to explain genetic mutations, blending science with effective communication. Great use of productive tech in the classroom, Ms. Anderson! #RISDDreamOn
I can’t wait to show this to our Tech Transform Cohort! #AdobeEDU
If you use Adobe Express and Classrooms I noticed that you can now assign Comic Strip Maker as one of the Assignment options. It is such a cool tool for students to tell a story in 5 frames. Thank you Adobe! #AdobeComics #AdobeEduCreative @AdobeExpress

Today #RISDAIM dug into all things audio! 🎙️We explored Tech by Design- everything from simple audio reflection in voice memos to complex audio production in #GarageBand! We loved the energy in the room as teachers collaborated & brainstormed what they’ll take back! #RISDDreamOn

Another important Digital Citizenship skill is evaluating online sources! Students need critical thinking skills to navigate media 🔍! Teaching about source evaluation helps kids spot bias, uncover purpose, & find factual answers. #RISDDreamOn

Teaching data privacy & security isn’t just a lesson - it’s an essential life skill. Help students build safe habits, privacy awareness & cybersecurity skills to help them navigate the online world safely. Follow along as we share tips for Digital Citizenship week! #RISDDreamOn
Mr. Mikesell shows how tech unlocks what traditional methods can’t. 🚀 B/c every student processes discussions differently, tech lets them translate those unique insights into distinct final drawings. Similar conversation, but completely custom creations!
On #FeatureTeacherFriday, modern tech meets ancient history! 🏛️🤖 Swipe to see how @wcmikesell 's students at @bhsstem used @getschoolai to interview a historical figure to create timelines & hand-drawn shadow diagrams to learn how he measured Earth’s circumference. #RISDDreamOn

When your marketing budget is $0 so the sticker becomes the marketing team! ✨
We took a sticker with us as we went to support teachers in classrooms, provided PL, & partnered in PLCs. Be sure to reach out to your iTeam specialist if you need support. #RISDDreamOn

This week at REAL & AP REAL we reexamined how, when, and why we use technology in the classroom. Reflecting on technology activities, principals had intentional discussions about active & passive tech use. Excited to see these reflection-driven strategies in action! #RISDDreamOn
Yay, @FMMSMrGaray! 🎉
What makes him stand out is his intention—it’s never just about the shiny new tool, it’s always about what actually helps our students grow. We were so lucky to have him in our Transform Cohort! 🙌✨
Technology in schools is most powerful when it’s used with purpose as an extension to learning! 💻✨
On Education Technology Day, we’re celebrating the dedicated professionals who are always learning, innovating and finding new ways to use technology to empower learning and prepare students for the future, while keeping the fundamentals at the center.
In @FMMSMrGaray’s RLA classroom at @ForestMeadowMS , students are learning Greek and Latin root words and putting their vocabulary to work in a creative way, using technology to bring their imaginations to life.
It’s just one example of how we #RISDDreamOn and use #TechnologyWithPurpose. Thank you, @RISDiTeam and teachers, for making learning come to life every day!

We had the BEST first day in #RISDAIM! 🍎 This year, we’re anchoring our learning in Tech by Design. Our first session focused on Camera + Productivity & Note Taking. 📸📝 Now, teachers take their learning back to campus! #RISDDreamOn

It's our favorite day of the year! 🥳
Day one of our #RISDAIM cohort. This feels like the first day of school for us. We are so excited to watch these educators learn new ways to bring purposeful technology into their classroom. #RISDDreamOn
Can’t wait to try this new feature with our students! 🤩
@AdobeExpress for Education just introduced a new way to bring any topic to life: Animated Video Maker.
Here’s how it works:
• Type a prompt on any topic
• Pick your characters and a visual style
• Get an animated video
Every scene stays fully editable before export, so you’re always in control of the final result.
Explore it here: adobe.ly/animatedvideomaker
