  • 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.

voicethread hebrew reading

  • The primary challenge teachers face in teaching reading is reading is boring. It is hard to give an engaging lesson that addresses many different learning styles and excites students with higher order thinking while at the same time having the time and patience to call on many students to read. This becomes even more of an issue in high school where students cannot be motivated easily to listen to each other read.
  • Not only can students read on Voicethread, they can listen to their reading and correct it, or listen to others read to model their own reading. Voicethread also has advanced features like hidden URLs and comment moderation so teachers can easily control the Voicethread by not allowing inappropriate comments and can keep privacy concerns on a thread to a minimum.
