Research Question: How will technology implementation affect Arts curricula and the way the arts are created and approached?
Technology has been a very up and coming source used in all cases of everyday life. More and more, we are finding ways that technology can take the place of a tool or way of doing something. A concerning topic is whether or not switching over to so much technology is a good thing. There is becoming more technology put into the education curricula than ever before. Now so, it is moving into the Arts. As we incorporate technology into the arts programs and curricula, how is that going to affect the way the arts are created and established throughout school courses? What will technology do in regards to how we look at

Throughout the source it directs a lot of valuable questions toward the topic of the effects technology would have on the curriculum of the arts. I love the first question stated which is: How can we demonstrate to new generations of artists that art has a profound cultural function in contemporary culture? It’s great because today, contemporary art is not what pre-contemporary/modern art used to be. There is a new wave coming about, and we have to show that profound cultural value is still needed today.
Another source that I have found useful is entitled, The Costs of Efficiency: Implications of Educational Technology. The source explains the impacts that technology has on education. It also states ways in which technology can be progressive, cost/benefit measures and program budgeting. Measurable views such as productivity, performance, and accountability have concentrated on the thought that academic quality is nearly out-of-date. It also states that technology based resources could actually be more expensive to implement than

Will the external world matter at all once we have created virtual worlds that do not suffer from these kinds of problems? Since reading the articles I have, my view on this issue has not changed. I still feel very strongly that we do not need to implement technology into the arts programs and curricula. I, as a future educator, want my students to be hands on with their pieces of work they

    Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools is a district in central North Carolina that serves approximately 50,000 students in 81 schools. A year ago, several leadership changes occurred that have had large impacts on the educational community in the wake. Chief among the changes was the appointment of Dr. Beverly Emory as the new Superintendent and, in terms of technology, Kevin Sherrill as Executive Director of Technology. Prior to the transitions, there was little cohesion in terms a singular aspiration for the district and each individual school focused on the immeasurable goal of “21st century students.” In July 2014, Dr. Emory revealed three measurable learning targets that all Winston-Salem/Forsyth County School employees could work towards:…

    In response to the lack of standardization and poor academic achievement in the United States (U.S.) education system, Common Core State Standards (CCSS) were designed to create clear and consistent benchmarks to ensure that all learners, regardless of where they live, graduate with the identified 21st-Century Skills needed to succeed in a global community ("About the Standards | Common Core State Standards Initiative", 2016). According to the CCSS site (2016), as of August 2015, 42 states, the Department of Defense Education Activity, the District of Columbia, and four territories have voluntarily adopted the CCSS in English Language Arts (ELA)/literacy and mathematics. However, since the adoption of CCSS, concerns have been raised among teachers, community members, and other education leaders regarding federally mandated content, implementation, and gaps in student achievement; particularly for diverse populations (Issues in K-12 Education Case Study Document 1, 2014). CCSS has affected what and how school teach, and the arts, in particular, have been downgraded because of the reform’s focus on ‘college and career readiness’…

    Earlier this month I attempted the task of going 24 hours without technology. We had to look at the effects that technology had on us, and at the feelings we had during and after the event.

    Imagine walking into a school where the only requirement for every person is it must challenge us. Currently there is a debate of whether schools should choose art electives over technology classes. The Argument for Arts over technology is that the students already learn all of it on their own so there is absolutely no need to teach it. The Argument for Technology is that it is much more relevant for functioning in todays world. The necessity for both Arts and Technology holds true, so instead of posing the dilemma forcing one off the list of options, cut other resources.…
