| Description: |
The number of people, currently participating in digital communication, such as texting and online social networking, is staggering. Although most teenagers are responsible and exhibit appropriate behavior online, cyberabuse is also rampant. No longer can students escape to the safety of home; no boundaries exist in the world called cyberspace. Threats, harassment and teasing may come at any time and take a variety of forms which may include instant messages, text messages, e-mails, or chat room conversations. What can be done to help students avoid these situations? How can schools make it easier for students to report these situations when they occur, so they can obtain help? This segment of Tuesday Teacher Training, with a focus on cyber aggression, offers timely advice for all educators about helping students recognize and/or prevent it and respond appropriately when it occurs.
