This document is a permission letter seeking parental consent for their child's participation in the "Digital Futures in Teacher Education" research project. The project aims to develop online teaching resources to improve students' digital literacy skills. It will involve researchers recording and photographing participating children during school activities and using the materials in case studies and presentations to other educators. Parents are asked to complete a consent form indicating whether they approve of their child's involvement, including being recorded and photographed, and that they understand they can withdraw consent at any time.

1 This leaflet has been produced for the Digital Futures for Teacher Education project, part of UK Open Educational Resources Programme Phase Three. This project seeks to create materials (OERs) for trainee teachers and to develop guidance on digital literacy practice in teaching and learning in the school sector. For most up-to-date information about the project, please refer to theDeFT project blog Generic Permission letter Digital Futures in Teacher Education Sheffield Hallam University Dear parent/carer, We are writing to let you know about a research project that is planned to take place at the school next week as part of the XXXXX event. The research project is called "Digital Futures in Teacher Education" and its aim is to develop online resources for teachers which will help them improve the digital literacy skills of pupils. On 18th June 2012, the researchers from Sheffield Hallam University would like to come into the school and talk to the children participating in the XXXXX event. We would like to record these conversations and we would also like to take photographs and videos of children during the event. All recordings will be stored in a safe space. The researchers will want to use selected recordings and videos for the case studies which are developed on the basis of our work with the schools in the "Digital Futures in Teacher Education" project. It is also likely that the researchers will want to use excerpts from the recordings and videos when they share this work with other academics and teachers for instance at conferences and through publications. Any other recordings will be deleted once all the data has been analysed. I am therefore writing to you to ask if you are happy for your child to be involved. If you are happy for your child to participate, please complete the form overleaf and return to [name of teacher].
