Re: faculty and texting

Please keep this open too - we are needing to write a policy for this
topic this summer. I have some thoughts if anyone is interested, but
not a detailed policy.

Hi!

Regarding bans of recording equipment - that would have to include cell
phones, right? Not likely. It's tough enough just to get them muted
during performances.

I've been following this discussion as a teacher, and suddenly realized
just this morning that I am a problem parent as well. I have taken a few
short videos of my son's basketball games and crew meets, and shared
them with family and friends on Facebook. Of course, I have no clue
whether or not any of those other kids' parents, from any of those
schools, gave permission for their image to be shared publicly.
Despite being an educator and being reasonably knowledgeable about
technology and tech policies, I just got caught up in the joy, to
paraphrase Ann.

So my instinct is we need to do what we can to educate parents,
students, and for that matter ourselves (ahem), about what appropriate
use should be, react as needed to violations of school policy and/or
various laws which are pointed out to us, and leave it at that.

Take care,
