The Virtual Stage
Manzo, Kathleen Kennedy
Education Week, v24 n26 p27-29 Mar 2005
In this article, the author talks about Moore Square Museums Magnet Middle School, where educators are blending technology more heavily into the teaching of arts and music than most other schools. Arts teachers are integrating computer software with traditional instruction in dance, music, theater and visual arts to spark students' creativity. It is a school where, even the most inhibited students can "bust" a virtual move with grace and prowess using a software program that allows them to build, pose, and animate a figure--or group of figures--in time.
