New Adobe Digital School Collection Brings Learning to Life for K-12 Educators and Students

Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced the new Adobe Digital School Collection, aimed at providing digital communication solutions to K-12 schools. The collection brings together four powerful software applications to create an easy-to-use solution for teachers, students and school administrators: Adobe® Photoshop® Elements 5.0, Adobe Premiere® Elements 3.0, Adobe Contribute™ 4, and Adobe Acrobat® 8 Professional software. A Teacher Resource CD enhances the collection by providing additional resources such as professionally developed lesson plans and tutorials to help educators quickly integrate digital learning into their curricula.

“The Adobe Digital School Collection helps students and teachers bring classrooms to life, inspiring students to create and publish rich digital content and collaborate with others on projects,” said Megan Stewart, director of K-12 education at Adobe. “It also is a way for teachers to build digital communication skills in their coursework, allowing them to prepare students with skills that are considered essential in the 21st century.” The Adobe Digital School Collection provides students and teachers with the tools to create rich digital images and video content, Web sites, blogs and collaborative documents for a variety of school and classroom projects. Key components of the Adobe Digital School Collection include:

Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 plus Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0 – The combination of these two powerful, yet easy-to-use software applications means students can edit photos and videos to turn ordinary book reports and video documentaries into more compelling and imaginative presentations. Adobe Photoshop Elements software allows students to share photos in engaging ways with interactive Adobe Flash® based online galleries or create time-lapse movies or animations with Adobe Premiere Elements to express concepts in subjects such as science, math and literature. The combination of Adobe Photoshop Elements plus Adobe Premiere Elements means students can experiment with fun video effects and transitions for photo slideshows, dramatic pauses to videos with freeze-frame effects; and create professional-looking quality DVDs with menus, scene indexes and printed CD & DVD labels and covers.
