[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard in a meeting that teachers will have to announce to their classes on Zoom that they are about to record.  If a child does not want to be in the recording, he/she will have to turn their video and mic off.  Last spring there were always a few kids who wouldn't turn these on to begin with.  I have a feeling that there will be many more people without cameras on once recording starts.  Should be fun to see 5 kids out of a class of 26 for the sole purpose of recording the lessons.  
Personally, I don't see why central office staff couldn't record lessons to be pushed out centrally for families who need it. All ES are finally using the same curriculums so that helps streamline the process.  It's not the same as being live with your teacher but if you miss a day of school it's better than nothing.   This way kids and teachers don't need to worry about their privacy.[/quote]

This will be a HUGE liability issue.  You can not just ask young kids to decide if and when they turn off their cameras.  What if mom wants them turned off, but is on the other room on a conference call and the child chooses to keep turning the camera off and on while it is being recorded?

Are they asking parents to sign waivers? [/quote]

Parents are going to be sent a consent form to be completed and returned/submitted by September 11th.  In the mean time, you can always tell the teacher you don't want your children to be recorded so that he/she knows to turn the student's video and mic off.  I have a feeling we will have many students in this situation.[/quote]

So basically it will be non-interactive, no screens on, all mute,  so a handful of students can watch it in the next 72 hours?  MCPS once again always catering to a small minority instead of caring about the majority.

If you build it, they will come.

If you require attendance and do not record, they will come.  And if they don't?  They are marked absent.  Just like normal life.

This record it and watch in 72 hours will be impossible for the teachers to keep up with. Kids will be asking questions about live class and another one will be asking about a class from 3 days ago and clueless as to what is going on in the current class.  Are they allowing extra 72 hours for quizzes, tests, reports, homework, etc..  I mean if I am 72 hours behind on multiple classes how can I be doing the homework for them or preparing for a test?[/quote]
