Now for this work to be published online don't the parents have to say that it is able to be available. Maybe the content of it or other people accessing it could be a problem. I know at our school some parents are not allowed to have contact with their children. Could this break that. What about student images that label other students by first and lastname.
Maybe I am being the devils advocate here.
But the ministry has put some guidelines out that I put in place in a previous workplace. Kind of strange when I think about it, it has been seven years since these guidelines came out and still some schools have not put them into place.
The Ministry of Education published guidelines for schools in 2000. The website is still running, check out http://www.tki.org.nz/r/governance/curriculum/copyguide_e.php
This is some of the information and guidelines for developing policy and authorisation forms.
You may be able to also get it as a book through learning media New Zealand

Hi,
You are absolutely right that the issue of online publication is coming up quite a bit for the conference.
You are right that we need parental permission to publish student images, artwork, writing etc online. Our school has all that in place but we are currently going through the process of "beefing up" our permission forms to be a bit more specific and not so general.
I believe students (even with permission) should never be identified by first and last name online however.
I have one child in my class who I am not allowed to publish photos of online.. but we are allowed to include her work and artwork etc so we involve her that way.
Schools definitely need to get these permissions in place before embarking on the web2.0 journey.
Ta, Rachel, Nelson
