FULL STORY
======================================================================

Its set to become even easier to access Adobe Express on student Chromebooks 
after Google announced a new partnership with the creative apps developer at 
edtech conference ISTELive 23. 

The integration builds on existing ties between Adobe and the search giant, 
which led to last years launch of an Adobe Express add-on for Google 
Classroom. 

Now, Adobes streamlined creator platform is available to schools, grades, or 
even individual classes straight from the Google Admin console. Express 
expectations 

Adobes free, web-based graphic design software has become a popular choice 
for quick and simple content creation - like rival Canva , it lets even 
non-designers produce professional visual assets. And that makes it an ideal 
platform for students to learn design principles and integrate graphics and 
videos into their work.

From today, teachers will have the option to assign, comment, and grade 
projects built in Adobe Express. Students, meanwhile, are encouraged to use 
the platform as an online collaboration tool ; the digital art software 
equivalent of a Word doc (or, rather, a Google Doc ). 

Keen to push the roll-out, it appears Google has made it simple for IT 
administrators to enable Adobe Express at the flick of a switch from within 
the Admin console. There is also the option to pin the design app to the 
taskbar of each Chromebook. 

As reported in The Verge , Govind Balakrishnan, Adobe SVP of Creative Cloud 
products and services, called the move the first step in many that we hope to 
bring to market to make it significantly easier for teachers and students to 
blend creativity and productivity together. 

Weve just seen this shift in the way teachers are educating their students - 
theyre constantly looking for more creative methods, said John Maletis, 
Googles VP of ChromeOS product, engineering, and UX. 

The reveal follows news that Figma , the company Adobe wants to buy for 
$20bn, has partnered with Google for Education to bring the web design 
software for free to Googles line of student laptops . Best online Photoshop
