Artifact # 9
Permission Slip
This permission slip is designed to make sure that parents will allow their child to use the Internet in my classroom. It is also used to communicate with parents the reasons why the Internet will be used in my classroom.
Context
This permission slip was created in the
fall of 2001 while at Appalachian State University. It was created
to use with certain technology projects that will be done in my classroom
that require students to use the Internet. Since students will be
using the Internet, parental permission is needed.
Impact
I will use this permission slip in my own
classroom as a way of making sure that parents will allow their child to
use the Internet in my classroom. Some parents may feel uncomfortable
with their student using the Internet so I think that this permission slip
will give them the opportunity to initially discuss their feelings about
this with me so that we can work together through any problems that may
arise.
Alignment
This permission slip helps promote a safe
and healthy use of technology resources because it helps to ensure child
safety in my classroom. The letter will provide a way for me to inform
the parents on why we will be using the Internet and what sites we will
be going to throughout the project. This will help to promote parent/teacher
communication as well as help to provide the students with a healthy and
safe experience when working with technology resources (Technology
Competency 6D).
