stopcyberbullying.org:'(
With the rapid use of computer technology bullying has reached great lengths. Before, there was always that "one bully".Who you would only see during your lunch period or gym class. But now the bully can be everywhere especially with the use of Facebook, Twitter, Myspace(lol). Could it be that you are a cyberbully? :o answer these questions and see for yourself.


"She Used to Be Pretty": Schoolyard Harrassment Goes Online."Edutopia. N.p., n.d Web. 03 Mar. 2013

  • "She used to be pretty" concerning "empathy" and cyber bullying. It was written to show that students have no empathy for one another resulting in bullying.
  • Kaley Noonan is a teacher who surveyed her own students, her result..No one knew the word. Kaley shown her class a picture of Brittany Spears shaved and her students were cruel. She suspects the same response via social media.
  • I found most shocking the ignorance of her students, "empathy" is the ability to understand the feelings of others. But how can we expect our students to act accordingly if they are unaware of the word?




"Student Take On Cyberbullying (3 Min). "TeacherTube. N.p., n.d Web. 03 Mar. 2013
  • This video was made to rally students together to halt these atrocities. Which is: Cyber bullying. As we watch each of the students shares their own personal "cyber bullying" experience. Which would generate into a mission. A mission in which students start posting positive "comments" throughout social media instead of hate.
  •  "Not in our town" (NIOS) is an organization thats only goal is to stop hate via social media. With videos (like the one we just saw) and lesson plans this website gives teachers across the country all the tools to start this "revolution". 
  • I believe this a wonderful video that gives us insight on such a controversial issue. As this organization gave free lesson plans, to "start your own campaign" I most likely will in the future.
