Creative Disruption at the Intersection of Arts and Technology Education
Abstract: Kathleen Tyner from The University of Texas at Austin opens a dialogue about the way that technologies can be used to transform learning through artistic expression, civic engagement and experimental practices. Recent trends in arts education, Do It Yourself (DIY), and Maker Movements provide field-tested models that inform the design of vibrant, project-based sites for personal and collaborative media creation. In addition, partnerships with community-based organizations, youth media practitioners and DIY digital makers offer valuable resources that support the innovative uses of technologies across the curriculum. This keynote discusses the rich opportunities and provocative challenges for educators as creative media practices engage with the traditional culture of schooling.
