"Social Media has been hailed as the silver bullet of grassroots marketing. Circumvent aging advertisement models and talk directly to your community? The only cost is your time? Fabulous! It can be like that, but it takes some very specific strategy to achieve that kind of success. At Transparent Language, we've built our Social Media following to nearly 3 million fans on Facebook alone. Our blogs receive over 200,000 visitors each month, and our YouTube videos have been viewed more than 2 million times. And we built most of it, not with a large team or budget, but with a single dedicated staff member. Truly grassroots. The lessons we've learned along the way can benefit our library clients, too. In this slide deck, a follow-up to Lorien Green's presentation at NELA 2014, we present our "secret sauce"."

"According to the Cyberbullying Research Center, more than half of teens and adolescents have reported that they've been bullied online, and between 10 and 20 percent say it occurs regularly. The consequences can be devastating. Cyberbullying has become a widespread problem that affects students of all ages and backgrounds. What's worse is that many victims of cyberbullying don't reach out for help, and they may continue to suffer from the consequences of bullying - such as low self-esteem and heightened levels of stress - for years after they've finished school." This post discusses what can educators do to put an end to this often invisible, but virulent, issue? It offers some resources that may help to further education about cyberbullying and identify some methods to combat it.
