By providing students with valuable, new creative tools, such as still and moving film, video, and sound equipment. By offering students efficient, exploratory ways to research the contributions of performers, theatre history, trends, and styles with the Internet's network of library catalogs, campus information systems, directories, databases, archives, and other interactive media technology. By enabling students to communicate with actors and theatre technicians, teachers, and students around the world in online discussion groups, list servers, bulletin boards, and email. By providing a new way for students to document and assess their learning.

Steps for Integrating Technology into Theatre Education Schools must develop comprehensive plans for integrating technology into their curricula. An effective plan is based on the shared vision of teachers, administrators, parents, community members, and technology experts. Technology should strengthen a district's curricula and strategies for teaching the Theatre TEKS, providing another means of engaging students in meaningful learning. When a technology plan is in place, teachers might consider the following strategies for making the most of these new learning tools. If a plan is not yet in place, many of these strategies can prepare teachers and students for future use of technology.
