Technology In The Fine Arts
Come by our booth for a hands on experience with some of the programs used in our music and theatre classes.  Review music basics with Jog The Web, create a set design with Google Sketchup, visit a student created Wikispace about music history, see samples of students audience behavior guidelines posters designed with Glogster and see how students can write their own musical compositions with MuseScore.  The tip of the iceberg of using technology in the fine arts classroom.  Focus on Music and Theatre with Web 2.0 tools, 1:1 program and collaboration with other subject areas.
