Screenshots in a Zoom Class

No running. No talking over others. No copying.

Today I had to ask my students to not do something I would never have thought of when I first started cheating - no screenshots of our online class meetings. 

Taking screenshots is one of the first skills I teach students. Not only is it useful in everyday life, but it is a good deterrent for cyberbullying.

Today during our online class, one student was thinking out loud and said he was going to take a screenshot of the class when another was doing something silly.

It was a good chance to remind the students of a few things:
1) You don't have permission to take others' pictures
2) You are taking pictures of other students' houses
3) There are names on Zoom and that information cannot get out
4) Let's respect each other and not be silly in class, but also respect other people's privacy

We have been focusing on the other online meeting agreements, and this one did not even occur to me.
