Cyber Bullying

Kids can be bullies.  This is not a new concept.    Now, however, bullies have a new platform.  Social media evolves faster than we can keep up.  Heard of Yik Yak?     As soon as we monitor one site, they find another.  It is impossible to monitor all  online behavior.  From Call of Duty to Snapchat, our students live, work, and play in a digital world.  Are we educating them to be productive digital citizens?  Are we educating them about their digital footprint?  Is this a piece of our "whole-child education?"

Slide from a presentation by Jason Jackson of Common Sense Media.
