“How do your students currently show what they’ve learned—beyond writing?”
Lesson Ideas
Podcast Social Media Logo
Here’s an example of how students can bring their voices to life through Adobe Express. This graphic was designed by a student to promote a student-run podcast they created in class. Using Adobe Express, they combined bold visuals, their own logo, and a catchy tagline to make their podcast feel real and professional—just like something they’d see on Spotify or Instagram.
What makes this powerful is not just the design—it’s how the process pushed them to think critically about audience, purpose, and voice. By creating this post, the student wasn’t only learning digital design; they were strengthening ELA skills like persuasive writing, tone, and summarization. And because it looked authentic, they were motivated to share it with peers, turning classwork into something meaningful and public.
How To Get Started:
- Start small: Assign a Guided Activity as a choice board option. *Use Adobe Classrooms to assign work easily and within the platform
- Build gradually: Move from individual projects to collaborative class publications.
- Differentiation: Using templates to scaffold for struggling learners, and open design options for advanced students.
- Assessment ideas: Rubrics focused on comprehension, creativity, and communication—not just design.
- ✨ New Adobe Express Tip: Use the built-in Brand Kit feature to help students maintain consistent fonts, colors, and logos across projects. This not only strengthens design skills but also teaches them about audience, tone, and professional presentation.
