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.
