Arts & Tech Integration: How to Collaborate and Have Fun Doing It | Edutopia - 0 views

  •  
    I think this article is very helpful on how to bring technology and art together. It gives many examples on how to use technology and art such as the iPad green screen videos the class made and the Art and Technology night they host at the school. I would definitely use the examples in this article in my class room.

    This article is great because it provides insight into how art and technology can be helpful to each other. Unfortunately art is often overlooked in education but this article explains how it can be salvaged through the use of educational technology.

  • Yet with arts programs all but disappearing from many schools, the opportunities to sample a wide range of pursuits are dwindling.

      Reading and writing, along with math and science, take president in our school systems today. With the arts disappearing in our school systems, soon students are not going to have anything to read or write about.
  • Students need time to celebrate motion and their bodies and their kinesthetic sense. It will lead them to better study sessions and better testing. And students learn a lot of important life skills during play, out on the playground and in those social settings.”
  • “I think one of the things we’re starting to understand is that technology is an amplifier of our gifts and talents, not a replacement for them,” Carroll said. “Look at all the dimensions it can bring. It can be a wonderful amplification of what you love.

      Perfectly stated.
  • And that may be the important mission of all for teachers in the digital age: to help students learn to use technology meaningfully in pursuit of their passions.
  • Educators have got to be some of the most passionate people on the planet. Take one look at the way they pour themselves into helping others, and it’s hard to imagine a profession more infused with passion.
  • “If you’re getting up every morning for a reason that inspires you, it shifts your energy immediately every day,” he said in a recent interview. “There are plenty of brain studies that show that when you’re lighting up the frontal lobe with inspiration, when you’re getting lit up, you know it.

'Madden NFL' makes a play for the classroom - 1 views

  •  
    Math and Science students are now using the Madden NFL game for the classroom. Being a division 1 AA football player and now coach of the game, this learning tool is something I would definitely love to use in the classroom and for myself! Electronic Arts will work with NFL Players Association and Discovery Education on a program called EA Sports Madden NFL: Football By The Numbers. The program is for 5th and 9th graders to teach them Math and Science skills. The program will combine football concepts with math and science principles including physics and probability. Different opportunities will be accessible for the kids as well. Students can take field trips to EA Sports Tiburon studio in Orlando to watch the creation of the Madden NFL. NFL players are hopping on board too. NFL players will help promote the program and develop awareness of the learning opportunities. Being a fan of this game, this is very good news. Not only is it incredible that they are using it for academic reasons but I believe accessing knowledge for gaming creation will benefit the game in their future. Every Madden game gets more realistic each year, allowing children to gain greater knowledge of how this system works will increase the future endeavors for the company.
