Why technology integration?
It is important to acknowledge that technology has become a big part of everybody’s lives. As an educator I believe that technology should be introduced gradually so children can become responsible technology users. I believe in giving the students technological skills so they can have even more opportunities to explore their creativity. In my class students can learn the art of animation, photography and filmmaking. Even though with my younger students I mainly focus on a more hands-on approach I think technology integration can be an asset to any classroom.
Conduct effective research for art projects.
FInd relevant information about the artists, art techniques, and exhibitions.
Technology supports independent learning.
Technology helps educators to reach out to more children, who might not have opportunities to learn about art.
