Many cases of cyberbullying result from a lack of technology skills or Internet literacy skills. Students either fail to, or don’t know how to, use security tools and practices, protect their personal information, and accounts or understand the consequences of their tech actions.They think that they are anonymous online. They don’t realize how long what they post online stays online. Caching and archiving are beyond their understanding. And without knowing how Google and other search tools find and digest things online, they can’t appreciate what damage they can do with a few careless clicks of the mouse.Who will teach these skills? Technology educators, that’s who!Students are sitting ducks for cyberbullies and everything else that can go wrong online if they don’t know how to use some cyber self-defense. Their passwords are easy to guess or hard to remember. They share them with anyone who asks, except their parents. They rely on unreliable information, found on whacky websites. They download spyware, malware, and malicious code. They give away their and their parents’ information to anyone who promises to give them an iPod for catching the jumping frog. They share information with someone who seems nice online, and believe that cute 14-year-olds really are what and who they say they are.Eighteen percent believe that they have closer friends online than off. Thirty-four percent believe that an online friend can be as good a friend as someone they know in real life. Seventeen percent are meeting people in real life that they had only known online. Eighty-five percent have reported being cyberbullied and 70% have reported cyberbullying others.They are often gullible, careless, and clueless. The technology teacher coupled with the librarian and library media specialist have to set them straight.From ParryAftab.blogspot.com. All rights reserved.
The Role of Technology Educators in Addressing Cyberbullying
Parry Aftab first wrote about her gratitude for librarians while still an associate at a big Wall Street law firm. The corporate librarian had been invaluable in her success, finding information that no one (pre-web) could find and giving her pointers on information she had come across.Her high esteem for librarians didn’t end there. Although she had admired school librarians, she hadn’t learned about library media specialists until a good friend, Della Curtis a Ph.D. in Library Media Information, introduced her to these secret weapons.They understand how the technology works and what is credible and what isn’t. They have the best lists of trusted and reliable sites and understand what students do there. They can find anything online in two seconds flat and match it with other offline information that makes it relevant. Parry even created a Super Librarian graphic to reflect how she saw school librarians and library media specialists. When Parry was asked to speak at the Free Speech session for the ALA’s annual meeting many years ago, Della and other library media specialists prepared her.No WiredSafety school team can be created without either a school librarian or library media specialist. When they speak, follow Parry’s lead—be sure to listen and take careful notes!From ParryAftab.blogspot.com. All rights reserved.
The Role of Librarians and Library Media Specialists in Addressing Cyberbullying
Teachers play two important roles in addressing cyberbullying in schools. They are primarily educators and are expected to convey credible information and approaches to the students. But perhaps even more importantly when cyberbullying is implicated, teachers are often the “trusted adult” students turn to when they are targeted by cyberbullying or learn of others being targeted.In addition to teaching students not to lend their efforts to aid the cyberbully, teachers can help encourage their students to report cyberbullying when they encounter it. While it is wonderful that teachers are trusted with this crucial information, they are often unprepared to advise their students on next steps. With good cause, they fear legal liability for mishandling any of these reports and don’t know how to preserve the student’s confidence while reporting the cyberbullying. Teachers may be reluctant to turn them over, especially if they promised the students to keep their identity confidential.If an anonymous tipline or tip box is created, teachers can remind their students to use it. School administration and school policing staff can act on these tips and take action quickly as necessary to shut down the site or profile or stop the cyberbullying itself.Education can help considerably in preventing and dealing with the consequences of cyberbullying. The first place to begin an education campaign is with the kids and teens themselves. These programs need to address ways they can become inadvertent cyberbullies, how to be accountable for their actions, and not to stand by and allow bullying (in any form) to be acceptable. We need to teach them not to ignore the pain of others.Teaching kids to “Take 5!” before responding to something they encounter online is a good place to start. Jokingly, we tell them to “Drop the mouse! And step away from the computer! That way nobody will get hurt!” Encourage them to “Take 5!” to help them calm down if something upsets them online or offline to avoid their acting out online. This may include doing yoga or deep-breathing. It may include running, playing catch, or shooting hoops. It may involve taking a bath, hugging a stuffed animal, or talking on the phone with friends. They can create a Take 5! Bulletin Board illustrating their favorite Take 5! activities or discuss them with others in the class.Each student has their own way of finding their center again. If they do, they will often not become a cyberbully, even an inadvertent cyberbully. This method even helps with offline bullying and impulse control in the classroom. There are several ways teachers can educate kids not to support cyberbullying:· Teach them that all actions have consequences;· Teach them that cyberbullying hurts;· Teach them that they are liable to being used and manipulated by the cyberbully;· Teach them that the cyberbully and their accomplices often become the target of cyberbullying themselves; and· Teach them to care about others and stand up for what’s right.We need to teach our children that silence, when others are being hurt, is not acceptable. If they don’t allow the cyberbullies to use them to embarrass or torment others, cyberbullying will quickly stop. It’s a tall task, but a noble goal. In the end, our students will be safer online and offline. We will have helped create a generation of good cybercitizens, controlling the technology instead of being controlled by it.The more teachers know about cyberbullying and how it works, the better they can address and prevent it.

The Role of Teachers in Addressing Cyberbullying
The schools have a valid concern and legal obligation to maintain discipline and protect their students while in their care. But in this tricky area, especially when damages for infringing on students’ rights can exceed the annual salary of much-needed teachers and other educational resources, schools cannot afford to guess. Until the law becomes better settled, the schools need to be careful before acting, seek knowledgeable legal counsel, plan ahead, and get parents involved early.So what’s a principal to do? Talk, educate, and mediate…it’s what they do best. Bring in the students and parents. Create peer counseling and mediation boards. Set policy. Create awareness programs. Principals shouldn’t panic or react in a knee-jerk manner. I would suggest they take their lead from a very experienced school superintendent in New Jersey.A teenager in that high school, after getting angry with certain teachers and administrators, lashed out by posting some pretty vulgar and insulting things about them on a personal website. He wrote the site from home and posted it online. It wasn’t posted on the school’s server, but was available to everyone with Internet access once they had the URL. URLs of classmates’ sites get passed around quickly, and many of the kids in the school accessed the site from the school’s computers.When the word got back to the teachers and administrators, they were understandably furious. They sought help from the police, who threatened to charge the teenager with harassment (but they wouldn’t have been able to make that charge stick).Everyone involved seemed to lose their head, but the superintendent managed to keep his. He recognized that this wasn’t a school disciplinary matter and that the parents needed to be involved. He called in the parents, who were appalled and took this situation as seriously as they should have. Together they worked out a suitable apology and a way to handle the case without blowing it out of proportion. The press had a field day. This superintendent stood firm against the anger of the teachers and the pressures of the community. He was right.Months later he shared something with Parry. He told her that he had met the young teenager at a school event, and the student apologized once again. He also thanked the superintendent for handling the situation with grace. The boy had acted out in anger and hadn’t thought about the consequences of his anger. Eventually, even the teachers came around. We could use many more like him.This advice works just as well when cyberbullying or social-networking use is discovered. A good principal sets the tone of the school, hopefully with wisdom, kindness, consistency, and respect.From ParryAftab.blogspot.com. All rights reserved.
The Role of Principals in Addressing Cyberbullying
When schools try and get involved by disciplining the student for cyberbullying actions that took place off-campus and outside of school hours in the US, they are often sued for exceeding their authority and violating the student's right to free speech. They also often lose. Schools can be very effective brokers in working with the parents to stop and remedy cyberbullying situations. They can also educate the students on cyberethics and the law. Parents can be educated as well in presentations and with newsletters and handouts.What schools do best is educate and create awareness. They can bring together all stakeholders and create a community-wide approach to addressing the problem. Students can be involved in helping frame solutions and creating programs and policies.Schools are often the first to know and to know the most about the student dynamics and what works and what doesn’t. Their early knowledge is important to keep things getting out of control, fast! Anonymous reportlines can be set up to encourage students to report what they see.If schools are proactive, careful, and creative, they can avoid the claim that their actions exceeded their legal authority for off-campus cyberbullying actions. We recommend that a provision is added to the school's acceptable use policy reserving the right to discipline the student for actions taken off-campus if they are intended to have an effect on a student or they adversely affect the safety and well-being of student while in school. This makes it a contractual, not a constitutional, issue.Work with a team of parents, members of the school community, law enforcement, and students to articulate the policy and determine guidelines for enforcement. The more the policy is a result of this collaborative process, the less likely it will be challenged or that a challenge would be successful.The cyberbullying programs must be top down (on risk) and bottom up (on measures). All stakeholders must be involved and their expertise and perspectives considered. Even when a program is in place and working, it should always be adaptable, articulated, and communicated to all stakeholder groups.From ParryAftab.blogspot.com. All rights reserved.
The Role of Schools in Addressing Cyberbullying
Digital alerts are very helpful. But these miss cellphone bullying and game bullying entirely. They may also miss images that were photoshopped. For these and other less obvious attacks, you need real and solid intelligence. And that can come from only one source—the students.Create old-fashioned suggestion boxes where students can anonymously report cyberbullying when they find it. Create an online report form and promise anonymity as well. Teach the students what constitutes cyberbullying so they know what to report. Let them know what information you need and what will happen to reports. Remind them that false reports will be acted on, to discourage cyberbullying –by proxy when they report their target as the cyberbully to have the school do their dirty work.They need to understand that asking for help isn’t showing weakness, it shows wisdom. The tattletale stigma should be addressed.Then have the students promote a “report it, don’t support it” message. They can do skits, posters, write and perform rap or pop songs, or shoot their own PSAs. Have them look at the issue and define it their way. Get their help in creating reporting methods too.Devote lots of time to teaching them to tell and teaching the trusted adults what to do if a student does confide in them. This may be the most important tip we can give you. Cyberbullyinghas contributed to suicides when the target feels alienated and faces it alone in the dark. The right response is crucial. So is being trusted with their confidences.From ParryAftab.blogspot.com. All rights reserved.
