Art & Technology: Off-Stage Communication
http://artandtechiscool.blogspot.com/2009/11/off-stage-communication.html
Monday, November 16, 2009. I won't try to answer that question, but most of us would agree that it involves some level of communication with your audience. Over the years, the theatrical community has developed tools, techniques, and entire disciplines devoted to improving communication on the stage. But what happens when the house lights come on? Why does the conversation need to end? Why does that feeling of interaction disappear when you leave your seat? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Art & Technology: Edutainment
http://artandtechiscool.blogspot.com/2009/11/edutainment.html
Monday, November 16, 2009. With all the great things people have been doing to engage audiences on the internet, I wonder if we are going too far with Edutainment. Edutainment mixes education and entertainment as a way of teaching. While I think there is great value in this method, are we taking all the work out of learning for our students? Where do we draw the line between engaging students and making them lazy? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Technology for the Performing Artist.

Art & Technology: The Movie in My Book
http://artandtechiscool.blogspot.com/2009/11/movie-in-my-book.html
Monday, November 16, 2009. The Movie in My Book. The first digi-novel came out in October as an iPhone app for a novel called "Level 26." It's basically an e-book, but the story is interspersed with short videos that expand on the story's plot. The videos are called "cyber-bridges" and can be skipped without readers missing out on the central story. While digi-books may be fun for novels and thrillers, I think it provides a lot of potential for improving education and literacy in our schools.

Art & Technology: December 2009
http://artandtechiscool.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 21, 2009. Congrats to everyone on their final projects. Team Navy.you've inspired me to stop and take a picture every hour for a day to see all those things that seem to go unnoticed. I thought there were some great animations on the class websites. A few of my favorites were:. Christina's Wings: https:/ files.nyu.edu/cdb319/public/ani.html. Kelly's Landscape:https:/ files.nyu.edu/kmj284/public/animatedgif.html. Geneva's Fairy: https:/ files.nyu.edu/gm1154/public/gif.html. I think Blackb...

Art & Technology: Mature Content - Mass Media vs the Theatre
http://artandtechiscool.blogspot.com/2009/11/mature-content-mass-media-vs-theatre.html
Monday, November 16, 2009. Mature Content - Mass Media vs the Theatre. And The Laramie Project. At a local high school. They objected to the plays' "mature content.". Niether of these shows are visually graphic in nature. Rent. Is based on a true story of a teenager who was beaten and left to die because of his sexual orientation. The play is made up of a series of interviews with the residents of Laramie dicussing the event that took place in their town and how it has affected them. The Movie in My Book.

Art & Technology: Browsers
http://artandtechiscool.blogspot.com/2009/12/browsers.html
Wednesday, December 9, 2009. The second observation was that Opera cannot open NYUHome emails. I can log onto NYUHome, but if I click to open my email, the page will say "loading" indefinitely. It cannot open NYU email - this is a major problem for me. I hope that Opera works out its kinks because it has the potential to be a great browser, but for now I'll stick with Firefox.

Art & Technology: Blackboard
http://artandtechiscool.blogspot.com/2009/12/blackboard.html
Wednesday, December 9, 2009. I think Blackboard is a good tool for sharing files in a closed network. I've used Blackboard both as a student and an administrator. . As a student, I find it extremely valuable for class powerpoints or articles that are posted - cause I can't loose them! It has some features where you can give tests and quizzes, but otherwise, I don't find it to be very interactive. I'm sure there are better platforms out there for this kind of thing.
