    "Cyber-bullying, as defined by Chapter 92 of the Massachusetts Acts of 2010, is bullying through the use of technology or any electronic communication, which will include, but will not be limited to, any transfer of signs, signals, writing, images, sounds, data or intelligence of any nature transmitted in whole or in part by a wire, radio, electromagnetic, photo electronic or photo optical system, including, but not limited to, electronic mail, internet communications, instant messages or facsimile communications. Cyber-bullying also includes: · the creation of a web page or blog in which the creator assumes the identity of another person or · the knowing impersonation of another person as the author of posted content or messages, if the creation or impersonation creates any of the conditions included in the definition of bullying above. Cyber-bullying will also include the distribution by electronic means of a communication to one or more persons or the posting of material on an electronic medium that may be accessed by one or more persons, if the distribution or posting creates any of the conditions included in the definition of bullying above."

      This is a scary, but true fact. I am wondering what schools are doing to prevent this.
  • Cyber bullying can happen in many different arenas such as e-mails, Web sites, text messaging, cell phones, three-way calling, video, blogs and any other form of communication that occurs electronically. Cyber bullies sometimes, but not always, know their victims in real life.

    Seems like it should be a requirement so that we can make sure all students receive the instruction needed. Of course, making sure all teachers know and understand technology and cyber safety and information literacy, etc., would be the place to start, no?

    What a cool idea -- have the students learn through conducting the research around cyber safety and information literacy -- and wouldn't it be cool to have high school students learn all this and then teach either a lower grade within the high school or teach middle school kids?

  • At home, allow Internet connected computers only in a family area. Monitor your child's computer use.
  • Talk to your teacher if are uncertain about whether specific online content is appropriate.
  • Since research projects may be completed outside of home, it is important to arm students and parents with safety information that will protect them outside of the classroom where Internet filters may not be available
  • Know How to "Escape": If an Internet search unwittingly takes you to an offensive website, let the teacher know so that the site can be reported or avoided in the future. Hit control-alt-delete if an offensive site will not allow you to exit.

    This saddens me as it so easily could have been prevented. If is difficult to understand that an adult was a cyber-bully to a teenage girl and it ended in suicide. I am glad these situations are finally being brought to court for consequences for the cyber-bullies. I hope that people can try to be more proactive and stop the cyber-bullying before it happens because once the online posts appear they pain another person. I hope that we as teachers can help our students to be safe on computers and to never be cyber-bullies!

  • Andrea Matott on 09 Jun 10
     
    This summary of the report filed last Friday by the OSTWG gave what I believe to be one of the most important ways we can help teens in dealing with cyber-bullying and harassment. The goal is "to develop easy-to-use reporting mechanisms ..." In my experience with young teens at school and my own children who are now young adults, I am baffled by their "code of silence." If there's an easy way for them to report and keep their identities anonymous we will likely get a better handle on cyber-bullying and harassment. Otherwise, teens will continue to protect each other at their own personal costs because they don't want to be labeled "snitches" or "tattletales."

      I just seem to lack time to do this. I tend to set up a research project that gives students the topics, gives them the appropriate websites, and I also give them a note-taking sheet to further guide their instruction (inhibit their creativity/). I have such a limited amount of time to accomplish any task on computers that it's probably not very challenging for students.

      In school, we do a good job of keeping kids on the straight and narrow in regards to going to appropriate websites etc. The threat of "If you go to an innapropriate site you are off the internet for the year" works very well. As a sixth grade teacher, we have to contend with cyper-bullying outside of the school...texting, emailing, postings on Facebook that can be cruel and viscious. That is when we have to get administrators and parents involved and it is always difficult. Anyone have any advice for those situations?

      Our leadership committee at our school (SVE) discussed this issue because parents communicated this need at a SAC meeting. We think that parent education regarding appropriate behavior on Facebook, Twitter, texting, and other social networking environments needs to be offered to parents. Since educators have very little control over our students away from school, this seemed like the best way to address this issue.

      Being able to select appropriate information is one of the most difficult things to teach middle schoolers. They either take in everything without filters, or the information they use is so narrow they can't develop their own conclusions.

      Yes, this is a tough task for early researchers!! I think we expect students to be able to do this and we don't give them any direct instruction on how to evaluate the information they have found. I get so excited about the project that I often do this step for the students. I need to plan in time to teach them how to decide whether a source is appropriate or not.

      I agree with Teresa, I'll try to save time by doing the research or flitering the information for them, that I am not allowing them to decide for themselves what is relevent and what isn't.

      I not only worry about how much time children are on the computer, but the adults in their lives as well...you are the model and if you are on the computer all the time what message are you sending!
  • 2. Keep the computer in an area where it can be monitored, like the family room, kitchen or living room, not in your child’s bedroom.
    • Vicki Crawford
      Vicki Crawford on 03 Oct 10
       
      This is another pet peeve. There are so many parents who do not monitor what their children are doing at all! My kids never got on the computer without me right there asking to see what they were doing. Parents should protect and teach their children...not let technology take over for them.

      Being able to take a lap top anywhere is both a good and a bad thing. It's mobile, which I like but difficult to supervise. I asked my daughter to keep her laptop on the dining room table.

      I teach bully proofing and am frightened at some of the comments children in the primary grades make when we talk about cyber bullying and video games! They are under the assumption (or their parents are) that if you are playing a video game and are on line you are safe...not always true.
  • 11. Warn them that people may not be what they seem to be and that people they chat with are not their friends, they are just people they chat with.
    • Jessica Atkinson

      I would take this one step further and make sure the people they are "chatting" with are real people they have met and know!

      Adults are to blame too. Take a look at our own emails. I have friends that have their first and last name along with the year they were born in an email address. I think of my students and how many of thier parents have email addresses with personal information for example first and last name then how many kids thye have like 3boys. Maybe in the end we will teach the kids cyber safety and then the learning will trickle to the adults.

      If kids do nothing else, this would, I believe, keep them safe.
  • First rule of smart surfing? Remain as anonymous as possible. That means keeping all private information private. Here are some examples of private information that you should never give out on the Internet: full name home address phone number Social Security number passwords names of family members credit card numbers Most credible people and companies will never ask for this type of information online. So if someone does, it's a red flag that they may be up to no good.
  • If you don't recognize the sender of a document or file that needs to be downloaded, delete it without opening it to avoid getting a virus on your machine. Virus protection software is a must for every computer. You can also buy software that helps rid your computer of unwanted spyware programs that report what your computer is doing. Some service providers make software available to protect you from these and other online annoyances, such as blockers for those in-your-face pop-up ads.

  • f you ever get involved in a chat room conversation that makes you feel uncomfortable or in danger for any reason, exit and tell a parent or other adult right away so they can report the incident. You can also report it to the website of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children — they have a form for reporting this type of incident called CyberTipline. They will then see that the info is forwarded to law enforcement officials for investigation.
