Adobe + Pear Deck
Pear Deck has partnered with Adobe to unleash creativity and boost digital literacy. With these ready-to-teach lessons powered by Pear Deck, students can use technology to channel their creativity and tell their unique stories in new and exciting ways.
Adobe Express gives students and educators everything they need to create stunning graphics, flyers, photos, presentations, web pages, and videos — and express themselves in unique and beautiful ways both inside and outside the classroom.
Pear Deck was founded by educators on a mission to help teachers create powerful learning moments for every student, every day. With solutions rooted in active learning and formative assessment, we make it easy for teachers to connect with learners of every age and ability.
How to access Adobe Express
Adobe Express is entirely free for K-12 teachers and students. If your district already has Adobe products, it’s likely you already have access. If not, check out step two to create a premium K-12 account and invite your students!
If your district has Adobe products:
Look for the Adobe Express product card in Clever, Classlink, Canvas, or Google Classroom. Clicking on the app from those district portals/LMS systems will grant you a license and sign you in automatically!
Visit express.adobe.com/sp and choose “Continue with Google” if you usually sign in with your district Google account, or “Login with Adobe ID” and enter in your district email address.
If you have a Google Workspace for Education account:
