Art+and+Technology

==As a technology consultant, I am often called on to help teachers learn how to use the latest technology tools to teach the arts and to show them strategies to integrate these tools into the regular curriculum. This page has been created to showcase the results of teachers working with their drama and writing curriculum. Here you will find postings of podcasts and digital stories that the teachers in my latest workshop have created.==
