Victorian schools have just come out of another forced lock-down. Snap circuit-breaker lock-down periods may well be the norm for many regions until COVID vaccines are fully in place. More so than ever before, during this time, teachers and students need to be patient, flexible and digitally creative in the way they manage the learning & teaching process. Keep an eye on the Free Distance Learning Resources & Project Ideas site on the Adobe Education Exchange for help and inspiration.

The new Get to know your Adobe apps webinar series starts on February 23 for Year 4 to Year 9 teachers with other sessions specifically for senior secondary as well as Higher Ed teachers planned up until the end of May.

We have had over 650 registrations so far for these webinars that will be run by the Adobe Education team as well as Adobe Education Leaders. Register in advance for the sessions that are most relevant for you and share these events with your colleagues and wider education networks.
