Where Technology and Philosophy Intersect

The Virtual Stage interface integrates diverse media, interdisciplinary learning, connection-making, collaboration, generation, and openness. The interface brings technology into the classroom, allowing students to incorporate traditional art making practices with newer ones. The wide array of capabilities for the stage means that the “setting” could be of anything, incorporate any subject. It could just as easily show an art museum for art history as it could provide a rainforest backdrop for a performance piece about habitat destruction. This lends itself to collaboration and working together to create a performance or other work of art, as well as an opportunity for an audience. The possibilities for the interface are wide open, and therefore could be used to support many different teaching practices and philosophies. Another educator may choose to use this interface in a different way than me, but it would go with my own philosophy very well.
