In today's episode, Tim sits down with Oscar Keyes and Erika Ogier to explore how educators can effectively bring digital art and creative technology into their classrooms. Erika, an elementary art teacher, and Oscar, a multimedia librarian and art education faculty member, share their collaborative journey in developing a curated list of tech tools tailored to the realities of K–12 education—tools that are free, user-friendly, web-based, and login-optional. They discuss the myth of the “digital native,” emphasize the importance of foundational tech skills, and highlight how digital art can foster creativity and digital literacy across age levels.
