Adobe has also unveiled its Adobe Digital Kids Club, a program designed to promote the use of digital photography in schools. The program provides educators and students with digital photography resources, advice, training, lesson plans and ideas. Students can also use this digital photography technology to enhance electronic book reports and presentations. Adobe has partnered with Blue Pixel to provide articles, tips and lessons for the program, while Classroom Connect will offer in-person staff development.
