Artifact # 2
Permission slip: This is a permission slip given to parents, asking for permission to videotape or photograph their child.
Context:
During my media class, Integrating Media and Technology into the Elementary
Classroom, I made a media literacy video, which involved videotaping the
children. Since I needed their permission to put their child on videotape,
I sent this permission slip home to the parents. Parents were asked
to fill out this form, sign it, and return it to me.
Impact:
As a teacher, I will need to send permission slips home for a variety
of reasons. By already using this document in a classroom setting,
I will already know how to do this. I could also use this as a standard
to go by when I send permission slips home to children in the future.
This
permission slip or letter also lets me communicate with the parents
of my students. I would also discuss the permission slip with children
so they will know why I was sending it to their parents. I would explain
that children need to be protected and they are by using this permission
slip.
Alignment:
This permission slip procedure ensures compliance with child protection.
Permission slip would be something I used for a variety of situations making
this a classroom policy (Tech Comp 14.1).
Since I have sent a permission slip home with parents that ensures child
protection, this shows that I have communicated with parents to support
their child’s well-being (Standard 10).
