Artifact # 11
Context:
The permission slip was created using Microsoft Word, a word processing program, and was scanned into the computer.
Impact:
Especially starting out as a new teacher, it will be vital to my profession to be able to videotape the children in my classroom. To become licensed in the state of North Carolina, often teachers have to videotape their lessons and interactions with their students. I also feel that videotaping is a new technology that students can learn a great deal from, and I would need to know what kids would be able to participate in that and those who would not.
Alignment:
Since there are many legal issues that teachers must now think about
and be aware of in our public schools, this videotaping permission slip
form is a good way to communicate with the parents of your students and
to also be able to avoid any legal or ethical problems. By sending
this permission slip home with students, a teacher can be sure that it
will be acceptable to photograph and videotape the students in his or her
class (Tech. Comp. VI.A).
