Cyberbullying
In just a few short hours, your children can learn how to keep themselves, and their friends, safe from cyberbullying and online cruelty of any kind. This self-paced online course includes an engaging mix of videos, quizzes, reflection questions, activities and more. Best suited for ages 11-14.
Cyberbullying, the use of technology to harass, threaten, embarrass, or target another person, is an unfortunate element of online life. Sometimes it's easy to spot—a text message or social network post appears threatening or cruel, for example. But at times online cruelty can be less obvious. In addition, another type of online behavior—“digital drama—is often confused with cyberbullying, making this topic additionally confounding to students… and to their parents!
Research shows that while most young people will observe and/or be the target of online cruelty at some point in their digital lives, few know what to do when it happens. This short course will teach children how to identify cyberbullying, digital drama, and even online hate speech, and teach them what to do if they encounter any cruelty online.
Estimated time of completion is 2-3 hours.
