WOW! Another creative use of technology to engage arts participants- especially students. Nintendo has released a new program for the Nintendo DS chain, Art Academy, that allows students to be introduced to the world of visual arts. The program supposedly provides real-life techniques on the console that can be easily transferred to an actual canvas. This new technology is giving teachers another way to engage their students in the arts. Instead of playing games like Mario Cart for countless hours, students now have the option to explore their creative mind.
