Reflection on Cyber Bullying
  • Cyber Bullying is a terrible thing that takes place all around the world. Between the article and video they both give very informative information on how to prevent Cyber bullying. I personally believe that more can be done to help stop this issue. The video showed that when students are alerted when they are thinking about posting something it actually helped. Students need to be given more information on what Cyber Bullying is and it need to be taken more seriously. This is a very serious issue in mostly teens and it can lead to serious damages to someone, Students need to know more about this situation and schools should be the first source.

  2. Desarae,
    I think you did great in your blog posting. I do agree with you regarding the fact that cyber bullying is terrible, and some people don't see that it exists. As teachers, bringing awareness to the issue may impact some students, especially if their parents are aware of the problem with social media. I do believe that if parents were more aware of the problem, they could monitor their children more closely and look out for signs that they may be cyber bullying. Great job with your posting!

  3. Desarae, You found one of the best videos I have see on Cyberbullying. Do you know why? She researched and proposes a solution: "Rethink Before You Type" is a message that can be added as a Google Chrome add-on. Excellent idea!
