Resources for Educators
“Schools worldwide are being charged by legislators to take action to reduce cyberbullying because of its potential to disrupt the educational process, create a hostile environment, and threaten students’ feelings of safety and mental well-being at school. Yet there is a lack of research on how schools can effectively address cyberbullying, and a need to determine how schools, parents, and social networking sites can collaborate to prevent online victimization and encourage digital citizenship.” ~ http://www.promoteprevent.org
