The lessons with videos were the most valuable

I think it’s interesting to delve into the entire world of the internet and understand about cyber bullying and how extreme it could be. I didn’t have access to the internet until I was a teenager but I never experienced nor heard of cyber bullying until I got a little older. To hear all that is going on in the news and how vicious it could be is upsetting, to know that not a student does not have an escape from bullying is upsetting as well. I enjoyed going through all the ideas presented and the videos on what to do in different situations and how to tackle this vicious component that has become such a huge part of our society.

The lessons with videos were the most valuable and I actually shared them with a coworker who teaches internet safety to the high school students.

I think always keeping these goals in mind and mastery of the lessons will help teaching Safety in my school. These goals and lessons extend beyond my classroom and while I have said in many posts I teach the younger students who don’t experience this as much I do have times that I spend with older students and being able to tap into this world helps me understand the realm of this issue and place expectations on myself as a teacher (to notice issues, be there for others, listen and prevent).

Whether you are a school administrator, teacher, parent, mentor or corporation, we can design a program to suit your needs. Let’s make the connection!

Made me think

I found the sessions useful...I did....it really has made me think about how I am interacting with the staff and how I can connect more with each one. It really is powerful stuff. Truly. I find myself using some of these strategies even in person

There is a huge discrepancy between what students thing and what teachers think

While adults may believe they are doing enough, students do not think we are.
