Cyberbullying Presentation

I attended last nights panel discussion on Cyberbullying. I was disappointed by the parent turnout to discuss this as I think it can be a big problem in our students lives. It easily goes undetected and from what the Student Body President said, many students may not even know they are bullying with the things that they text, write online, or post to sites.

I am going to do everything I can to teach internet safety to Team Jones but I am going to need to partner with you to continue to reinforce the ideas at home and for years to come!

I took away a fantastic idea that I want to share with you...recently a parent at a sleepover party took away all of the cell phones when the guests entered the house. This immediately got rid of the cameras and potential for children to do things (send texts, make phone calls, etc) due to peer pressure. I thought it was a fantastic idea!

Thank you for working with me on all of the important skills that I am teaching in 4th grade!!!
