Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop and Illustrator)

Matthew Winters from UEN presents to virtual attendees about Adobe Creative Cloud at the 2021 Utah Coalition for Educational Technology Conference.
Adobe’s Creative Cloud, now available to all Utah teachers & students, can be an intimidating suite for those new to it. Being able to not only navigate the Creative Cloud and its connected programs but also understand which programs can help teachers learn the Adobe Suite while still finding value for their classroom. Starting with using Creative Cloud and navigating the suite, teachers will learn which programs are best for beginners, and how to navigate through the basics of Lightroom, Indesign, and Illustrator. Also, teachers will learn some basic ideas for creating creative projects with their students or for their classrooms including poster design, photo editing/manipulation, and creating a logo.
