[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]iIt's not a technological challenge (unless you're a technology consultant looking for a fat contract to install a few cameras).  I'll be dissed for that but just look at You Tube for how easy it is to live stream presentations.[/quote]

Yeah, sorry, I do have to diss you for this. It would involve a lot more than "installing a few cameras." Just to toss out a few things... Even letting alone setting up cameras that would cover the room, unless you expect that the teacher will just stand at a lectern the whole time, the sound quality issues would be ridiculous in a class full of kids. The bandwidth required to stream this stuff would be considerable, especially if you're talking about multiple classes at a time. As others have mentioned, there are significant privacy issues involved with broadcasting where minors are involved and likely to be captured on audio/video. Plus, as a public school system, the stream/recording would have to comply with ADA requirements which are substantial (and substantially expensive to comply with, which is why for-profit companies like Netflix have to be forced to do it by the courts).

I can understand why people suggest this, I really do, but it's more complicated than it might initially seem. Privately created and streamed YouTube videos of individuals just aren't the same thing at all.[/quote]
