Tech+Arts+Workshop

Art Teachers,

Welcome to the Tech Arts Workshop Wiki Page. Here you will find handouts for the workshop, and reflections from the workshop.

Here is an article about Ian Sands from Apex High, in the Cary News, that shows how 21st century skills can be taught without digital technology. []



Remember the key questions for our workshop are "How has technology affected you?" and ""If you taught your class as if it were a video game, what would that look like?" It helps to look at the two images above, and consider Michael Baxandall's ideas about how education affected the Northern and Southern Rennaisance. Go to the discussion section, by using the tabs above, in order to answer these questions.

"One important subject was how to solve proportions, crucial to a merchant who had to deal with problems of pasturage, brokerage, discount, tare allowance, adulteration of commodities, barter, and currency exchange. Not only did every city have its own currency, but its own weights and measures!" (The section on Baxandall starts about halfway down this page and is called "Abaco and Mathematical Education in the Renaissance." )

You are welcome to post your answers here, post photographs, add tips about technology, post technology lesson plans or add suggestions for the next workshop. This can be an ongoing process and this should be a growing document.

Thanks, Slater Mapp
