The New York State Alliance for Arts Education, in partnership with Partners for Arts, Community Arts Partnership of Tompkins County Education, Southern Tier Arts in Education Roundtable (STARR), and TST BOCES will present a day-long conference in Corning, NY: Bridging the Achievement Gap Using Art with Technology — A day-long conference for teaching artists and educators on Tuesday November 18, 2008 , 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Radisson-Corning, NY.
Addressing the achievement gap continues to be a high priority in our schools. Knowing that students are entering the classroom from varying demographic backgrounds, teachers and other school personnel are adjusting their instruction and the tools they use to try and meet the learning needs of their students. Technology is increasingly becoming part of the creative process both in and out of the classroom.
During this conference you will have the opportunity to choose from a variety of workshops discussing Media art and education. Facilitators include area professional artists, art educators and educators who have had extensive experience working in the Arts In Education field, and will provide a conceptual framework for integrating the arts using technology across the curriculum for all learners!
Discover how using media art in your classroom can be an effective and dynamic tool for teaching and learning in the classroom!
