instrument digital interface (MIDI)
files, videos, databases of
out-of-print books, and join
discussion groups on nearly any
topic.

Now let’s take a look at:
ART

18. Integrating Technology in Art
First we must recognize potential problems and then develop
strategies to make the technology integration a success.

19. Integrating Technology in Art
Problem - Funding
Due to economic times and standardized testing
required by the No Child Left Behind Act, funding
for the arts is at an all time low.

20. Integrating Technology in Art
Problem - Ethical Issues
With the internet making information easy to
access, it is vital we teach students to cite sources
and request proper permission to use
information, images, and other material from the
web.

21. Integrating Technology in Art
Problem - Accessing Images
With filtering software in schools, many great works
of art are filtered out due to nudity.

Integration Strategies
Computerized Kilns can be Used
Computerized kilns save students time and ensure better-quality
products. Firing kilns can take days so computerized kilns can save
a lot of time. There is also less risk of opening the kiln when it is too
hot and causing the pottery to explode or crack.

38. Integrating Technology in Art
Integration Strategies
Student’s Creative and Research Works can be Shared
