Talk with students about video recording purpose & intent  Plan a recording time that you won’t use to allow your students to get used to having it in the classroom.  Plan a date to send the notice of video home for signature & have returned prior to your first recording.  Reserve university equipment early  Plan some time to get familiar with the equipment before you set up in your classroom.  Test in your classroom when students are NOT present. Consider angles, light, and sound.  Video does NOT need to “movie quality” but the scorer will need to be able to see and hear you (and the children) when appropriate.  A property pass is required for each item to leave campus. Once checked out, you are responsible for the equipment, until returned to the Office of Educational Services.

PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBLITY  You own your recordings as part of your professional work sample.
