  • Officials: Suicidal Teen Was Cyber-bullied
  • CBS)  Officials in Massachusetts believe there's been another deadly case of cyber-bullying in the apparent suicide of 15-year-old Phoebe Prince of South Hadley, Mass.
  • Prince moved last year to the area from Ireland. While making the transition to a new town and a new country, Prince, officials believe, became the target of intense cyber-bullying, which may have contributed to her apparent suicide.

  • A friend who did not want to be identified told CBS News, "She was being bullied because she was pretty and people were just jealous."Prince's classmate also said he was one of her closest friends, but she never revealed her pain.
  • Meline Kevorkian, the author of "101 Facts About Bullying" told CBS News, "Cyber-bullying can be so dangerous because it can lead to cyber-mobbing, which means kids can come together to attack another kid, 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
  • Prince's unidentified friend said, "It just makes me sad that it takes the life of a young teenager who had everything going for her to bring the community together to have them realize how bad bullying is."
  • kids should "know that they are loved and that people care about them, and they can make it through this."

    This is completely out of hand. There is no reason that this girl should be dead. Cyberbullying is, I believe the worst form of bullying, because some of the people who bully others online don't have the guts to admit it face-to-face with their victims.

Zero to Eight: Children's Media Use in America | Common Sense Media - 1 views

  •  
    The study shows that everything from iPods to smartphones to tablet computers are now a regular part of kids' lives, with kids under 8 averaging two hours a day with all screen media. Among the key findings: 42% of children under 8 years old have a television in their bedroom. Half (52%) of all 0- to 8-year-olds have access to a new mobile device, such as a smartphone, video iPod, or iPad/tablet. More than a third (38%) of children this age have used one of these devices, including 10% of 0-to 1-year-olds, 39% of 2- to 4-year-olds, and more than half (52%) of 5- to 8-year-olds. In a typical day, one in 10 (11%) 0- to 8-year-olds uses a smartphone, video iPod, iPad, or similar device to play games, watch videos, or use other apps. Those who do such activities spend an average of 43 minutes a day doing so. In addition to the traditional digital divide, a new "app gap" has developed, with only 14% of lower-income parents having downloaded new media apps for their kids to use, compared to 47% of upper-income parents. Clearly, media has become a staple in young kids' daily lives and influences them in ways we don't yet fully understand. But by getting involved in your kid's media life, you can help them create healthy lifelong patterns that will truly make a difference in their lives

    "Drill Down: Gaming in Education" Over half the students at the middle school level believe that using games to go along with a concept could help them learn easier and faster. Virtual world environments provide benefits for teaching and learning. Look at these statistics! About six out of 10 middle school students think the use of games would help them understand difficult concepts. Greater engagement in subject matter is gaming's most widely seen benefit among high school students. At both the middle school and high school levels, connecting the real world to the subject matter received the fewest responses.

    "Inevitably, though, they listen - and they learn." I've found that using popular music in lectures also increases my credibility among students. They see music as their territory, and are often surprised when a professor understands something they are familiar with - or think they are.-ProfHacker Personally, I think this is really cool that teachers are branching out this far just to reach us and help us learn. Some music might not be appropriate for listening to in the classroom for a subject, so that means you would have to take time and experiment. These 4 characteristics will help you realize how just how helpful doing this could really be: Vocabulary. Music can help start discussions about language use and get students thinking about the way we use words and phrases. Imagery. Music videos offer an entrée into such things as gender and social roles, fashion and sexuality, not only through sound but through the accompanying images. Cultural references. Popular songs allude to many elements of popular culture, providing a means to explore current events, celebrity culture, politics and the boundaries of taste. History. Today's music evolves from yesterday's music, which evolved from previous music in the past. Finding those connections can be eye-opening.
