[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Presumably the teacher is sharing slides. Why does their camera need to be on? Why do the cameras of all of the other kids need to be on if all they are doing is watching the teachers. Current practice in virtual meetings is to have cameras off in the main room to reduce bandwidth demand. This also reduces people doing distracting/inappropriate things while the instructors attention is focused elsewhere. In breakout rooms people should turn on their camera to interact with each other.[/quote]

👋 hi Mcps teacher![/quote]

Exactly. I wanna sit around in my jammies and collect a check! So glad I left MCPS for private school.  Way more enthusiasm and commitment.[/quote]

Wtf? On the MCPS-provided devices, the camera goes off when the host is sharing their screen or using the document camera, which is presumably how a lot of instruction happens. Any staff who are visible on camera while sharing their screen are using their personal devices (usually because they're better and have more features available on Zoom.) It's not a case of the teacher sitting around in pajamas not wanting to be seen. [/quote]
