Technology Goals

Educational theatre is not something I have thought much about in terms of using technology in the classroom. Obviously, there are a lot of technological advances in technical theatre (it's even in the name!). I would like to encounter or devise interesting ways to use technology as it pertains to the theatre classroom. Theatre is spiraling out into so many different directions right now: television, stage, movies, youtube. Theatre to me speaks mostly to the traditional stage model, but even stage is using new inovations to create specific affects. Theatre is also usually a more practical class, much like PE, so using technology will often be challenging. I'm hoping to learn creative ways in which I can bring technology into the theatre classroom. This might take creativity on my part, but that only makes it more exciting.

Great attitude, and yes, it might be challenging to come up with resources of adding technology to the theatre classroom. One quick thing that I can think of is using podcasting to practice speaking.
I can also see that blogs and wikis would be great for collecting and sharing important web sites and other information. You do have one thing on your side and that is creativity!
