Evidence/Artifact #1: Media Release
I want to use evidence from the activities that I have taught in the form of pictures and videos of students. One of the issues regarding the use of educational technology is the privacy of the student when posting anything online. I created a Student Media Release form to send home to parents before I posted any images or video of the students in my practicum classroom. (Lawrence, 2018) Before handing the form out to students to take home I contacted my Instructional Design: Applications of Educational Technology professor, Julia Hengstler, for support in the creation of the document. (Hengstler, 2018) I found there were more aspects to consider than I had previously found by researching online.
Version 1 of my Student Media Release form before edits and feedback.
Version 3 of my Student Media Release form after edits and feedback.
What I learned and Why is it important
In looking at other media release forms from various sources online I was surprised that most forms did not include a section to withhold consent. All of the aforementioned forms basically had yes/no check box for consent, including the first version that I created. I now understand how important in providing a section to withhold consent is as parents and educators need to be absolutely clear if consent is given or withheld.
