Chapter 10- Virtual Art

" We want all our students to be artistically literate, as well as
read-and-writing literate. We're taking a virtual field trip to major art
exhibits around the world."

This quote was taken from Chapter 10, Virtual Art, by Glen Bull and Gina Bull in M.D. Robylers book, Educational Technology in Action. It was apart of the first scenario given where the teacher is trying to intergrade technology into a learning classroom environment. I think it would be beneficial to all the students because it allows each student to get involved and become artistically literate, as well as read-and writing literate about many museuems and art institutes being explored. I think it will help students develop skills in retrieving and finding information faster.

I liked the part where the teacher explained that students will get to explore about a dozen museums. To me, that seems like so much condensed information and so many beautiful art pieces that will be viewed. Some people don't have the chance to view art as quickly and as resourcefully as these students will. The word "field trip" make students get excited, but this is a whole other definition of field trip!

While the students are searching and enjoying the sites off the selected art museum websites , can you think of other subjects that could be incorporated while learning how to become artistically literate?
