Resources for educatorsTo empower educators to use media to engage youth in learning, Adobe Youth Voices and the Education Development Center have compiled a variety of resources to help educators integrate youth media into classrooms or out-of-classroom programs. Adobe Youth Voices Best PracticesIn addition to documenting the impact of the Adobe Youth Voices program, the Education Development Center collects data that point to "lessons learned" from the AYV program. These data-based Lessons Learned publications, written by the program evaluation team and based on the experiences of AYV youth and educators, address how AYV can be integrated into a classroom, how AYV enhances an afterschool program, and innovative approaches to exhibiting the media products youth create. Written with educators and program staff as a primary audience, Lessons Learned provide illustrations of how AYV works in a range of contexts, and offer inspiration for practitioners who want to integrate youth media into their practice and engage young people.
