[quote=Anonymous]I am an MCPS teacher, and I am wondering how parents feel about all of our classes being recorded.  As a parent, I am reluctant to have my own children recorded, but I realize that if I have them turn off their cameras during class they will be only minimally engaged in the lesson.  As a teacher, I respect the fact that many parents won't want their children recorded, and I am really wondering about how ethical it is to record kids, especially those who have accommodations for special needs.   But I am also fearing another semester where I won't be able to fully engage all students because I won't see their faces.  It seems that we are between a rock and a hard place.

Thoughts on recording all class sessions?  I am wondering how the Board of Education will address this at their Tuesday meeting, but I suspect they will just vote in the proposed plan after a few members ask questions about it.  I guess if I were making a suggestion to MCPS, I would suggest using the "flipped classroom" model, where teachers pre-record their lessons and use class time for problem solving and answering questions.  I actually prefer this model as both a parent and a teacher.  However, this wouldn't meet the needs of all of the parents who seem to be demanding lots of "live teaching."  I also don't think it would necessarily meet the needs of children in elementary schools.  I teach high school, and it is more suited to this level.[/quote]
