It comes amid growing concern in school communities about bullying of students and teachers on Facebook and Twitter.

Facebook bullying schools

  • The impersonator posed as a real Cottage Grove sixth-grader, created a Facebook page and posted threats that he would bring a gun to school and shoot three students. Fights broke out in school as students argued over who created the fake profile that ridiculed the boy, a special education student. It was not only the viciousness of the lies and threats that caught the attention of Cottage Grove police, but the youthfulness of those involved, only 11 and 12.
  • Amid a wave of proliferating Facebook fakes and cyber-attacks like this one -- including children too young for Facebook's minimum age of 13 -- Cottage Grove police and other metro law enforcement agencies find themselves coping with outdated state laws, limited resources and a steep learning curve on children's use of social media.

  • Blocking social networks and banning cellphones in schools makes it difficult for teachers to do their jobs effectively in a digital world, a new report says. "School policies around technology are very frustrating to me," an elementary school teacher from Atlantic Canada says in the report from the Media Awareness Network, a Canadian non-profit that promotes digital literacy.
  • Others complained of similar restrictions. A teacher in Atlantic Canada tried to get students to use Twitter to collaborate on solving math problems, but the school refused to unblock the site. Teachers in Ontario and Quebec complained they couldn't incorporate video into their lessons because the schools wouldn't allow access to YouTube.
  • When schools do use technology in the classroom, they focus too much on teaching kids how to use devices, which they already know.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Teachers said kids know how to Google, but they can't distinguish good information from the fake stuff. They can use Facebook, but they don't know how to protect their personal information. They can watch YouTube, but they don't use it to learn new things.
  • Meanwhile, teachers from schools that let them integrate technology into the class on their own terms reported successful outcomes.

  • Children and education systems are often on the front line of violent conflict. Of the world’s 72 million children who don’t attend school, about one-third live in only 20 conflict-affected countries.
  • The report will also explore the role of inappropriate education in fostering conflict and explore ways that education can be a force for peace, social cohesion and human dignity.
  • Save the Children, which in 2006 launched its campaign Rewrite the Future to get children in conflict-affected countries into school, released a report this month called The Future is Now, which points out that “civilians now make up more than 90% of casualties in the world’s conflicts and about half of those are children.”
