About this trail:
This trail was created for students in the technology integration class ECI 511 at North Carolina State University. It provides an introduction to the range of tools and resources available to support music and art education. As shown in the Roblyer text on page 375, technology is commonly used in music to support composition, practice, and teaching music history. As shown in the Roblyer text on pages 381-382, technology is commonly used in art to support visualization of art, virtual field trips, manipulating digital images, graphic design, and sharing art.

Flickr is an obvious choice for art instructors to share famous or student-produced works. Sets can be made private if copyright is a concern.

One of the ultimate goals of art is to produce works that can be shared and appreciated by others. Several schools are currently using self-publishing services like Lulu to organize student art work (including writing from Language Arts) into paperback or hardcover books, which can then be purchased by parents or other interested parties. Books can be made "private" and accessible only to parents if privacy is a concern and students/parents don't want student works to be publicly accessible. As long as parents consent, though, these types of projects would make for innovative fundraisers for schools. What parent wouldn't buy a turkey finger-painted by their student at Thanksgiving?!
