integrate technology in the arts?
WHY

• By integrating technology into art and music, it
  exposes the children
• to new and exciting
• ways to show artistic expression.
• All media should have a place in the curriculum.
• With the technology today, children are required
  to develop a new set of literacies that go beyond
  the computer literacy.

  language of the new technology- sound, animation,
  music, drama, video, graphics, text, and voice.

  technological society today by emphasizing
  artistic awareness in the wave
• of technology.

Issues and Problems in Music Education

• Many educators and administration are viewing
  music technology as a discrete discipline,
  separate from the core activities. Activities
  such as band, choir, dance, and general music
  that include technology are considered
  alternative learning environments.
• The focus in music education in the Secondary
  level focus mostly on the Western European
  tradition such as Broadway and classical music,
  rather than the American tradition.
