  • "Cyberbullying" is when a child, preteen or teen is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child, preteen or teen using the Internet, interactive and digital technologies or mobile phones
  • The methods used are limited only by the child's imagination and access to technology
  • Children have killed each other and committed suicide after having been involved in a cyberbullying incident
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Cyberbullying is usually not a one time communication, unless it involves a death threat or a credible threat of serious bodily harm. Kids usually know it when they see it, while parents may be more worried about the lewd language used by the kids than the hurtful effect of rude and embarrassing posts.
  • Cyberbullying may rise to the level of a misdemeanor cyberharassment charge, or if the child is young enough may result in the charge of juvenile delinquency
  • It typically can result in a child losing their ISP or IM accounts as a terms of service violation. And in some cases, if hacking or password and identity theft is involved, can be a serious criminal matter under state and federal law.
  • When schools try and get involved by disciplining the student for cyberbullying actions that took place off-campus and outside of school hours, they are often sued for exceeding their authority and violating the student's free speech right.
  • Schools can be very effective brokers in working with the parents to stop and remedy cyberbullying situations

  • Direct Attacks
  • There are two kinds of cyberbullying, direct attacks (messages sent to your kids directly) and cyberbullying by proxy (using others to help cyberbully the victim, either with or without the accomplice's knowledge). Because cyberbullying by proxy often gets adults involved in the harassment, it is much more dangerous.

  • Cyberbullying by proxy is when a cyberbully gets someone else to do their dirty work. Most of the time they are unwitting accomplices and don't know that they are being used by the cyberbully. Cyberbullying by proxy is the most dangerous kind of cyberbullying because it often gets adults involved in the harassment and people who don't know they are dealing with a kid or someone they know.
  • "Warning" or "Notify Wars" are an example of cyberbullying by proxy. Kids click on the warning or notify buttons on their IM screen or e-mail or chat screens, and alert the ISP or service provider that the victim has done something that violates their rules

  • The most typical way a cyberbullying by proxy attack occurs is when the cyberbully gets control of the victim's account and sends out hateful or rude messages to everyone on their buddy list pretending to be the victim
  • Cyberbullying by proxy sometimes starts with the cyberbully posing as the victim
  • If the cyberbully can make it look like the victim is doing something wrong, and the parents are notified, the parents will punish the victim

  • Sometimes it is much more serious than that. When cyberbullies want to get others to do their dirty work quickly, they often post information about, or pose as, their victim in hate group chat rooms and on their discussion boards

  • In cases of cyberbullying by proxy, when hate or child molester groups are involved, the victim is in danger of physical harm and law enforcement must be contacted immediately.

  • When it comes to cyberbullying, they are often motivated by anger, revenge or frustration.
  • Who knows why kids do anything? When it comes to cyberbullying, they are often motivated by anger, revenge or frustration. Sometimes they do it for entertainment or because they are bored and have too much time on their hands and too many tech toys available to them . Many do it for laughs or to get a reaction. Some do it by accident, and either send a message to the wrong recipient or didn't think before they did something. The Power-hungry do it to torment others and for their ego . Revenge of the nerd may start out defending themselves from traditional bullying only to find that they enjoy being the tough guy or gal. Mean girls do it to help bolster or remind people of their own social standing. And some think they are righting wrong and standing up for others.

  • Educating the kids about the consequences (losing their ISP or IM accounts) helps. Teaching them to respect others and to take a stand against bullying of all kinds helps too

  • What's the Parents' Role in This?
  • Parents need to be the one trusted place kids can go when things go wrong online and offline. Yet they often are the one place kids avoid when things go wrong online
  • Most children will avoid telling their parents about a cyberbullying incident fearing they will only make things worse
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Parents need to be supportive of your child during this time
  • Don't brush it off.
  • It is crucial that you are there to provide the necessary support and love. Make them feel secure
  • Parents also need to understand that a child is just as likely to be a cyberbully as a victim of cyberbullying and often go back and forth between the two roles during one incident
  • If there is any indication that personal contact information has been posted online, or any threats are made to your child, you must run.do not walk, to your local law enforcement agency (not the FBI).

  • Telling the difference between flaming, cyber-bullying and harassment and cyberstalking (A guide for law enforcement)
  • It’s not always easy to tell these apart, except for serious cases of cyberstalking, when you “know it when you see it.” And the only difference between “cyberbullying” and cyber-harassment is the age of both the victim and the perpetrator. They both have to be under-age
  • But the closer it comes to real life threats the more likely you have to get involved as law enforcement
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • We recommend that law enforcement agents ask parents the following questions. Their answers will help guide you when to get involved and when to recommend another course of action.
  • The kind of threat:
  • The frequency of the threats:
  • The source of the threats
  • The nature of the threats:
  • The more repeated the communications are, the greater the threats (or enlarging this to include third-parties) and the more dangerous the methods, the more likely law enforcement or legal process needs to be used. If personal contact information is being shared online, this must be treated very seriously.

  • Google is the search engine and information gathering phenomenon that collects bits and pieces of information available online.
  • As more and more of us are using the Internet to communicate and share our ideas, more and more of our personal information is posted online
  • The ramifications of having your personal information posted online can be very serious. Just think about it.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • If you find that your personal contact information appears when you don’t want it to appear, you can ask Google to disable the information
  • You would also need to reach out to the site or online service and ask for it to be removed from wherever it’s posted
  • children’s information is posted online, and they are under the age of thirteen, notify the Web site or online service that your children are under thirteen and that COPPA (the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) requires that they remove the information immediately

  • "leading center for mathematics and mathematics education on the Internet" and without any reservations I would agree that its coverage of math education is excellent. It contains a seemingly endless number of resources for teachers, students, and mathematicians in support of its mission to "enrich and support teaching and learning."

      Not just resources for teachers, but also for students and others that are interested in math. I like how the goal is to enrich and support teaching and learning. That is vital for education.
  • This guide is designed primarily for the mathematics educator, whether in the role of teacher or as the student in a college education program. The majority of resources included here focus on primary and secondary education, but many may easily apply to college level. Librarians will also find the databases, reference tools, and the biographic sites helpful. Because the number of Internet sites covering mathematics education is so vast, a guide to the most essential ones is useful.

      Really gives a variety of options when it comes to looking at and choosing sites for resources.
  • Sites with lesson plans are numerous, but the links listed below are good starting points because they lead to specific lessons.

      Also very useful to be able to go directly to these sites and develop ideas for lesson plans. Probably especially helpful for first year teachers.
