Arts+in+Education+Discussions

On this page you will find smoke from the fire of debate and discussion on the place of The Arts in the education of our students, and maybe your own life.
====I have a question. I wonder, and this is a global wonder.....( and since there is actually no real evidence other than maybe increasing levels of engagement that technology increases learning ) what would happen if the money spent on IT in the education systems around the world was spent across The Arts, whether that in the long run might have more impact on students learning, their learning journey, their self esteeem and there overall development as humans and crontributing to society. Of course The ARTs don't have any slick add campaigns, or money spent on selling gadgets like drugs, or fix alls................I wonder? What do you think? 15.3.2012====
