[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not an overreaction to having everything you say throughout the day being recorded. It adds an unacceptable layer of pressure that is not present in a real classroom. If teachers want to record live classes, ok - but we should not be forced into it - this is akin to having a webcam installed in all our classrooms for absent students to view (get ready, as this is a slippery slope to what is coming when we partially and then fully return to the classroom). If a class is heavily discussion based, then an absent student, by default, would no be parting in the discussion anyway; yes, they could listen to to later - but conceive of how forthcoming students will be during a discussion that they know is being recorded.[/quote]

Pressure?  On who? The teacher?  The students?

I really don't get it.  From the students' perspective, anything they say or do is basically "in public" either way.  They're speaking in front of their peers, and ostensibly what they say might impact their grades.  I don't see why recording substantially changes that from a "pressure" perspective.

And from the teacher's perspective, I don't see how this is particularly different than many other professions that involve recorded presentations/conferences/webinars/etc.

Is your entire day recorded PP - for all who want to see over the next 72 hours? It can be played back, scrutinized, recorded, small pieces sent to your boss, and maybe some things posted on social media.   Please stop comparing one professional presentation with all adults to a teacher having to record her teachings all day long to kids who may or may not be blocked from participating. [/quote]

Sounds like you're not very confident your teaching abilities. Maybe not for you.[/quote]
