3 VISION STATEMENT Pencils and books are not enough in today s classrooms. Educators face the challenge of finding creative ways to keep students engaged, through inventive uses of technology that make learning not feel like learning. Adobe s Creative Suite Dreamweaver software package offers education solutions that combine industry- standard technology with standards- aligned curriculums, certification programs to validate skills, and professional- level training. An active online community provides additional support through forums, blogs, and more. Student learning is greatly facilitated by integrating the right technology into the educational experience. Students are empowered to better express themselves and showcase their knowledge. By working with technology as part of project- based curriculums, students easily develop the essential, lifelong digital communication skills they will need in virtually all their academic and professional pursuits. 1
