Technology's Impact on Arts Education

http://www.jstor.org/pss/3193623

I think technology is supplying useful tools and resources to build a new knowledge base for arts education. Developed access to information and resources, plus opportunities to engage directly with educators and the creative process or otherwise experience real-time performances, are changing the way we teach and learn about the arts. As a result, the arts are better placed to take their place as a core subject area in the K-12 curriculum.
Most importantly, networking technologies are making it possible for students and teachers to draw upon performing arts-based tools, resources, and environments that were simply not available in the past. Technology enables today's students to discover, create, display, and evaluate their work in the visual and performing arts as part of an ongoing collaborative and creative process that may include their teacher and peers. It also supplies students with the opportunity to produce personal growth and achievement and to achieve a better perceptive of their own natural creativity.
These new and important technologies to arts education will have a thoughtful impact on arts education and will change the way in which some people will understand and participate in the cultural life of his or her community.
In Music Education and its relationship with technology, is an organization TIME (Technology Institute for Music Education) and how they are checking the demand for music technology training and spreading awareness to music educators. I think in order to contact the students of today, teachers must always stay up to date on discovering and creating the newest technologies in the classroom because the students today are growing up with technology as a constant factor in their lives.
