Security of Online Video Tools and More

March 28, 2020

Dear Families:

Yesterday, the Carlisle Board of Health provided guidance as to social distancing which is found here:  Social Distancing Letter (Carlisle Board of Health)

It was great that so many of you could attend the discussion online yesterday afternoon. The recording of the Virtual Coffee is posted here:  https://zoom.us/rec/play/usAvd73-rz03HdfEuQSDVv94W424e6qshiMX8qZeyk6zW3dWMVb0M7ARYs6Nnf1EdOXY8-ravu-UV74?startTime=1585334686000

A good deal of time over the past few days has focused on the security and features of online video platforms.  As could be expected when tools are introduced suddenly and without an ability to plan, we need to learn and revise their use accordingly.  Currently, almost all of the optional Zoom usage is on the free platform.  This week, we will expand the use of the securities within the program but do not feel they are sufficient for the long term.  We are looking at acquiring a paid subscription with stronger safeguards.  We opened Google Hangout today since that does have stronger security but has more limited function.  Both tools allow for recordings to occur.  As a result of these factors, later this week we will provide permission forms for student usage to ensure parents are aware of the factors in this online environment.  The tools are optional for teachers.  Parents can certainly opt students out at any time.  Please let me or the building principals know if you have individual questions.  If we knew this journey was coming, we would have researched, piloted and practiced with the tools as we usually do!

Finally, below you will find information for the next session sponsored by The Center for Parents and Teachers with Dr. Rachel Kramer on April 1, 2020.

Have a great evening!
Best,

Laurie
