teachers video banned law cellphones

  • There is Smoker, 44, in his Guilford High School classroom more than a year ago, flailing his arms, short-hopping across the classroom, then pushing against a wall. He is explaining how molecules move, but the only sound in this YouTube video is instrumental music.
  • Experiences such as Smoker's are behind a bill that the state's largest teachers' union is lobbying for at the state Capitol. The legislation, under consideration by the General Assembly's education committee, would create a task force to study the impact of cellphone cameras and video-recording devices in the classroom.
  • State law already allows local school boards to ban or restrict cellphones at school — and many of them do —

  • Connecticut Education Association argues that the pervasiveness of small mobile phones that can record videos easily uploaded to the Internet is reason to update the law to specifically limit their use.
  • "What we're trying to do is address the problem head-on," Mark Waxenberg, the CEA's government relations director, said this week.
  • A Norwalk High School math teacher was suspended with pay in 2006 after a cellphone video posted on the Internet showed him calling a student a homophobic slur.
  • courts in the country have generally limited teachers' privacy rights in the classroom
  • No teachers spoke when the bill was aired at a public hearing Monday. And the lone piece of written testimony comes from Ray Rossomando, a CEA employee, who said that "surreptitious video-recordings of teachers has been an increasing concern" and cited the example of a Naugatuck Valley teacher who was recorded while instructing class this year. The clip was posted on YouTube.
  • People have to take the course to see the dance, he tells them.
  • So the clip is "a little upsetting," Smoker said, "because I do teach mostly seniors, and they know what the policy is. To do a sneaky video like this was out of line."
  • Still, Smoker was worried that the video would be taken out of context, and he called it a "rude awakening." He contacted the student, who has since graduated, to ask that it be taken down.

library digital scholarship

  • It is only half the size of the current Engineering Library, but saves its space for people, not things. It features soft seating, "brainstorm islands," a digital bulletin board, and group event space. There are few shelves and it will feature a self-checkout system.
  • The sciences are the perfect place to test bookless libraries, librarians say. In math, online books tend to render formulas badly. And those in the humanities, arts and social sciences still embrace the serendipitous discoveries made while browsing. Johanna Drucker, UCLA professor of information studies, moreover asks: "What version of a work should be digitized as representative? Leo Tolstoy's original Russian text? Or the Maude translation? Should we digitize the sanitized version of Mark Twain's classics, or the originals?"
