best video camera for classroom recording image
Angel_Witt
I teach first grade at a rural school in Alabama. I want to purchase a video camera so I can record experiments, plays, and learning that is taking place in the classroom. The recordings will then be transferred to the school website for the community to see or to a DVD for students and parents to enjoy. I have to write a GREAT proposal to get the camera. What are other benefits of having a video camera for classroom use? Thanks!
Answer
This is great for both you and the students. When recording students' plays, upon review the students will be able to monitor their fluency/expression/prosody and then improve it. Repeated performances and viewings will show growth.
Invite local community officials and leaders in to speak to the children and record it. Use this as a model for students to develop a short minute speech about a topic. Record it. Show it back to them. The possibilities are endless.
For science simply tape different environments and have students make observations, compare/ contrast.

As you know already, this benefits you as well. Although all teachers have built in with-it-ness, things still go unnoticed. You will be able to assess students long after the moment has already played out. Also, you will improve by critiquing yourself and delivery to your students.
Good Luck!

Is it illegal for a teacher to film students in class secretly?

My sister said that when she was in high school, she was taking a test and a student found a camera hidden some where in the classroom recording them while they took the test. The teacher said that it was to catch if anyone was cheating. Most of the students said it was illegal because it was hidden and the teacher didn't send out parental consent for their kids to be video taped. So is it true that it's illegal?
P.S. My English class just got a new student teacher and she is filming us to send to her professor to evaluate. But she had us get parent signatures.
Answer
There are cameras all over the place. You cannot even go into a 7-11 without having your picture taken. I have cameras in my house in case of theft. Since the cameras were to stop cheating and were never used for anything else, there is no case as there was no harm done. Students do not have any idea what is legal and illegal. Some even think a teacher cannot check their lockers. Student teachers have no authority over anyone in a class and have to be super careful not to offend anyone. The student teacher was sending it to someone else so she needed the permission slips.
