    1. Do not post faces or names on social media without explicit parent permission to do so.

    2. When recording a video, only record your desk top video image. Do not record student video images or audio.

    3. Teachers be careful about the background showing in your home. Use a virtual background (green screen tool) or choose a wall or similar area where no one in your home will inadvertently walk behind into your video.

    4. Be sure to get parent permission before connecting with students on video conference.

    5. If possible, set norms with your students about what is shown in their homes.
