Art & Music Technology Integration
The integration of technology in music education seems like a natural fit. How often do you see a student with an iPod or MP3 player, what about an iPad? All these and many more types of technology are great examples of how technology can be used to engage and teach todays student.
Art is engaging and educational, but to sit at a desk and read through a book that only has static images can be a tad bit boring. Integrating technology into the art curriculum provides enriched meaningful interaction for todays students.
