Page/Jeff: You need to get parents to signoff permission to allow these videos on YouTube and other projects on the web if your website is directed at children (under 13 years of age) and it collects information “that would allow someone to identify or contact the child,” — for example, names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and similar information -
according to Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Check out this blog entry from Nolo’s Rich Stim (he explains it in more detail) http://blogs.nolo.com/intellectualproperty/2008/02/22/dad-whats-a-cookie-complying-with-coppa/

Jeff – thanks for sharing these. Such simple applications but powerful projects. One technical question – do you get parents to signoff permission to allow these videos on YouTube and other projects on the web? How do you handle that at SAS?

[...] just was trying to catch up with some blog reading and I ran across Jeff Utecht’s post showing some great Art and Science online projects using Voicethread and video. I can’t wait to share them with some people here but it brings [...]

I love the video. It’s a great way for the students to invest in the experiment. I’m sure it’s going to get a lot of play from the students. The art VoiceThreads are great too. I’m going to show it to the school’s art teacher. I’ll have to explain the ability to add comments to her. Maybe we can get our kids to leave some comments after Thanksgiving.

I am about to begin a project using Voice Thread but never would have thought of using it the way your art teacher has. I did show it to our IB Art teacher, however, and seeing the excitement on her face after glancing at a few of the IB Art 1 slides makes my day!

Thanks!

Awesome and inspiring! It is always encouraging to see examples like these out there. The possiblities with our students are endless and this goes to show that they respond well to this type of learning. Re-affirming what we already know, but it is always nice to get a reminder!

Jeff,
You’ve shared excellent examples of using the free tools to spotlight engaged learning. Very powerful.
Allows us to use your examples to demonstrate the possibilities when we provide professional development. Thanks for the ideas! (another excellent example of the versatility of Voice Thread!)

Great! (If only my science classes did the same)

I love the comment, “We’ve got to do a good job now, I want a good rating.”

This isn’t an old idea, that making students’ work more public inspires better work. (eg. student writing for newspapers) However, this new media certainly makes it far more accessible.
