Student's Permission Slip for Video Conferencing

[LTschang]

Do I need to write up a student's permission slip for students to participate in any video conferencing projects? We are newbie in VC, just got it installed and working this month. Thanks for your help.

Hi,
In my experience, you only need permission if you are going to take photos and use them on a website, in a newspapers, etc. , but not for the actual videoconferencing experience. That is a connection just between you and one other site. I'm guessing you are connecting to a well-known content provider.

You might be sure that the content provider is not going to take photos for future use as well. Most are well aware that they would need permission to use photos of your students.

Hope this helps,
Dawn
