Abstract
This chapter highlights the overall importance of the Arts in education and how art in all its forms contributes to the development of human beings. It demonstrates the connection between the arts and the Common Core State Standards and provides ideas for teachers about how arts integration can happen naturally within the standards. The chapter further describes how the arts and technology can be integrated in ways that stimulate student creativity using a variety of technology tools to enhance visual arts, music, drama, and dance.
