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.

Try to catch up on your Blogs over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteGreg – I love the way you used the Cotton Club logo, colors, and images to give your homepage a distinctive style. I also liked your movie assignment because it was a lot like mine in the sense that you focused on an artist, or artistic movement, that is inspirational for you. You have a really interesting link on your blog – “Art Education Reform: Technology as Savior” I couldn’t access it tonight because I don’t have a JSTOR account, but I will be looking for other copies of that article.
ReplyDeleteHi Greg!!
ReplyDeleteI, again, appreciate your hard work of powerpoint presentation! I was so lucky to be the same team with you for the project. I used to visit your homepage and learn a lot of things from you. I didn't even know that we could use "lime" color for the homepage! ^^ I like the music that you posted on your animation page. It is such a bright and happy music~ And I just realized that I found the same video for the powerpoint of music&literacy! So I just changed the video.. haha~ anyway, I really enjoyed your homepages~
Have a great summer and I hope to see you in the near future~^^
