As an IT admin from a K12 school or district, you can empower your teachers and students with Adobe Express directly within Google Classroom.

Adobe Express is free for K12 teachers and students. It offers a rich set of web and mobile tools designed to unlock student creativity and communication skills. The Adobe Express Google Classroom Add-on allows teachers to:

  • Create Adobe Express project assignments directly from Google Classroom.
  • Customize existing graphics, posters, web pages, and videos for classroom needs.
  • Assign those assets directly to their students from Google Classroom, consistent with their existing workflow.
  • View, grade, and provide feedback on each student’s assets and assignments from within Google Classroom, saving valuable time and providing rich dialogue between teachers and students.
Note:

Even if you already have Adobe Express provisioned for your school or district, you must follow the below steps to assign Adobe Express to your teachers and students.

Enable the Adobe Express Google Classroom Add-On

To unlock this feature for Google Classroom users, the school or district must purchase the Teaching and Learning Upgrade or Education Plus edition of Google Workspace for Education. Then, enable the Adobe Express Classroom add-on for your teachers and students:

  2. Accept the free Adobe Express for K12 offer
  3. Set up SSO with Google Federation
  4. Add users
  5. Install the Adobe Express add-on
Note:

If you already have an Adobe Admin Console and have accepted the Adobe Express for K12 offer, you can directly start with setting up SSO.

1. Get an Adobe Admin Console for your school or district

K12 schools and districts can request an Admin Console by calling ​​+1-800-685-3638 or contacting a preferred school or district reseller partner. The person who calls to request access to an Admin Console becomes the first system administrator for that new org in the Adobe Admin Console.

2. Accept the free Adobe Express for K12 offer

    In addition to the licenses purchased for Creative Cloud, the Products page shows an offer for Adobe Express for K12. Select Get started.

    Confirm type of organization

  4. Select Confirm and Continue.

After you accept the offer, it appears in the products list. You can then set up SSO.

3. Set up SSO with Google Federation

  4. Select domains from Google that you want to add in Adobe Admin Console.

  5. Follow the instructions to Edit SAML configuration and click Save.

4. Add users

For your students and teachers to be able to use the add-on within Google Classroom, you must assign Adobe Express to them:

  1. Add Google Sync to the directory to add users to the Admin Console automatically from your Google Directory.

  2. Create a user group, assign the Adobe Express for K12 product profile to the user group, and then assign the user group to your students and teachers.
