With art and design, technology is ever so intertwined. In the classroom, technology has something even greater to offer. Educational technology is the integration of technology tools, resources, and platforms into the educational process to enhance teaching and learning. Many common uses of classroom technology serve primarily to enhance teachers’ existing lessons, but technology can also ease the workload and many demands on teachers. Educational technology expands how much I could accomplish in a day. The amount of innovative solutions available that can engage students, foster collaboration, and cater diverse learning styles is what makes educational technology so important.
New technology and digital drawing tools are helping to teach a host of art fundaments, like depth and space, perspective, color value and form. There are several apps that allow learners create their own art digitally, or maybe manipulate the traditional art they have already created.
Overall, technology is intertwined into our world so heavily, and if we allow it: educational technology can support a transforming education through collaborative, personalized, and accessible learning experiences. As we discover all the possible resources and approaches, it can equips both teachers and students with the tools needed to flourish in the digital age.
