Two very exciting days on ACU’s campus, as Jason Katsoff (ACU’s Adobe Success Manager – for Adobe) joined the Innovation Foundry, Team55, Learning Studio, Maker Lab, and Adams Center to raise the awareness of faculty, students and staff to what they can take advantage of through Adobe’s Creative Cloud (Adobe CC) here at ACU. From helping the campus gain access to their free Adobe CC software, to showing how those applications can help them in their teaching, learning, and projects, everyone involved had a great opportunity to take their digital capturing, creating, editing, and publishing skills to the next level.
To learn more about Adobe CC, please feel free to ask any of the staff in the Innovation Foundry, Team55, Learning Studio, Maker Lab, and Adams Center.

The past two days, John Kaczmarek and I have tag teamed in presenting Adobe Mobile Apps: Capture, Comp, and Spark Video, to Dr. Anita Broxson’s Nursing students. They have been given the task of creating media for a project. The task of the Innovation Foundry was to provide them with some introductory information, along with sparking their imaginations as to what they can do with some of the Adobe tools they have access to. It is always amazing to see and hear the students be somewhat amazed at what they have access to and then create with those tools. The past two days were no exception to this. Beyond capturing and manipulating images with Adobe Capture, and storyboarding and/or finding the specific template a student might want to design in with Adobe Comp – the crowd favorite seems to be Adobe Spark Video. This was my third time in showing others what it can do (looking forward to showing a group of faculty on November 17th), so I had a little fun with it this time and actually created a video right in front of them, in about two minutes. Of course…it is totally random, but you could really tell that many of them were going to start using Adobe Spark Video right after class. Looking forward to seeing what they create!

Today, John Kaczmarek and Donald Simpson were able to take the Innovation Foundry on the road and into the classroom. Speaking in front of Dr. Brian Burton’s Intro to Digital Entertainment students, John and Donald provided them with some tips and information to use when creating an ePortfolio. A great group of students!
