Perhaps someone out there might have an anecdote or two about their efforts to publish student videos on-line as an extension of their classroom.
Perhaps they'll even offer a bit of advice -- gaining permission, libability, class rules, etc -- that would help a teacher (and his students) out as they consider dipping their toes in the water. All feedback/advice welcomed.
Our district has blanket understood policy that parents must decline and express otherwise in writing. Perhaps a proposal for such could be submitted for board consideration if you decide to truly dive in.

Hello, I'm waving at you :-)
You probably are well aware of Viki Davis's Cool Cat Teacher Blog http://coolcatteacher.blogspot.com/
She's the first person I thought of with this question. She "gets it" on so many different levels. While I searched her blog just a bit, you might just want to contact her so she knows you're asking the question.

John - Most definitely aware of Vicki's work. You're right about her 'getting it', too!

Cathy, agreed on getting the proposal in front of admins. Will be submitting such a concept to my team soon.
