DTL Spotlight
Adobe Update: June 2026
As we head into the final weeks of the school year, our classrooms are buzzing with collaborative energy. This month, we are focusing on a vital characteristic of our district’s Portrait of a Graduate: Responsible Teammate.
The Definition: "As responsible teammates, we demonstrate dependability through positive collaboration with others and a commitment to diligence in our everyday actions."
Being a responsible teammate goes beyond just "helping out"—it’s about being a person others can count on to show up, do the work, and celebrate the collective success of the group.
Feature Spotlight: Classroom Gallery Walls
To support this commitment to collaboration, we are spotlighting the Classroom Gallery feature in Adobe Express. This tool creates a shared digital space where student work lives together, fostering a sense of community and mutual respect.
How it works for your classroom:
- Create a Shared Space: Teachers can create a "Gallery" for a specific project or unit.
- Collaborative Contribution: Students add their own Adobe Express designs, videos, or pages to the gallery with a single click.
- Real-Time Updates: As students refine their work and resubmit, the gallery updates automatically, showing the progress of the entire team.
Try it Today!
Ready to build your first digital wall? Head to the Classrooms tab in Adobe Express and select "Create Gallery." Whether you’re showcasing end-of-year digital yearbooks, science fair posters, or creative writing portfolios, use the gallery to celebrate the hard work and responsibility your students have shown all year long.
