This document discusses technology integration strategies for art and music education. It identifies reasons for linking school art programs with technology, such as expanded modes of expression and literacy for the information age. The concept of TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) is introduced as the perfect union of content, pedagogy and technology. Examples are given of what TPACK looks like in art and music classrooms. Issues in art and music instruction are also discussed, along with technology integration strategies in both subjects.

2. The arts in the information age Technology has always played a part in the arts. Over centuries, technology has provided tools, materials, and processes that have aided artists’ creative expression. 2

3. Why link school art programs with technology Four reasons for linking the goals of a school arts program with rapidly developing instructional technologies:Expanded modes of expression

4. Literacy for the information age

6. Arts as aesthetic balanceDanielle Williams3

7. WHAT IS TPACK TPACK - TECHNOLOGICAL PEDAGOGICAL CONTENT KNOWLEDGE Questions surrounding (TPACK) for teachers often include “How does it relate to me?” and “What are the implications of knowing about TPACK in my content area?” (TPACK) in any discipline is the perfect union of three knowledge domains(content, pedagogy, and technology)to develop a knowledge base from which a teacher can view a lesson and see how technology can enhance learning opportunities and experiences for students. Danielle Williams4

8. WHAT DOES TPACK LOOK LIKE IN ART ? In art education a teacher is incorporating the TPACK principles when he or she, fluent within a content area, readily introduces students to image editing tools such as Photoshop, thereby allowing them to develop their own pieces of art. This teacher knows the correct pedagogy for introducing the content and technology to the students.Danielle Williams5

9. Issues and problems in art instruction As a result of lean economic times and an increase emphasis on reading and math, funding for arts education is at a all-time low. Teachers and school administrators have to stretch funds available for arts education. Funding for technology in art is especially difficult. Danielle Williams6

10. Technology integration strategies for artTHERE ARE NINE INTEGRATION STRATEGIES FOR ART:Accessing art examples for classroom use

11. Using teaching examples and materials

12. Producing and manipulating digitized images

13. Supporting graphic design and 3-D modeling

14. Supporting desktop publishing with graphics
