Cyberbullying Post

Now that you have hopefully read many articles about cyberbullying I want to open a discussion about this topic.

You are to respond to the three questions below:

Why do you think cyberbullying is such a problem in schools and society today?
What advice would you give a friend who is being cyberbullied?
Discuss ways that you 'shut down' a cyberbully.

Make sure that your post is well thought out. Make sure that your post is more than simple one or two word answers.

Make sure that your post is in your own words. Don't just re-state what another student has already written.

Make sure that you are following the class blog posting rules. Use complete sentences, good grammar, punctuation and spelling.

Following the Class Blog

Your first assignment after creating your own blog is to make sure that you are a 'follower' to the class blog. There are a variety of ways that you can go about following a blog.

PLEASE make sure that your display name does display your name and not something like 'soccergirl123'. I MUST be able to look at my follower list and see that you are following.

Welcome to the class blog and blog rules.

Hello Online A and welcome to our class blog.

Blogging is one of the topics we will discuss in class and what better way to learn than to use a blog. We will use this blog throughout the term in a couple different ways.

It may be to respond to something we do in class. It may be to post work, or comment on other's work. A blog has many different uses. We also will have each of you create a blog so that you can see how easy it is.

Before we begin blogging there are a few ground rules!
1. All posts, must use appropriate school language and be completed in paragraph form. When you post, you should be using complete sentences with proper grammar and spelling. NO: U, R, UR, i, CUZ, etc.

2. When posting a comment, you may agree or disagree with another students comment. However, you must state why you feel that way and must do it in a manner that is polite and non-judgmental. The comments need to be non-personal and refrain from sarcasm and put-downs.

3. You must comment on every post, it is an assignment (unless otherwise stated).

4. You must address the topics and questions posted on the blog. You cannot simply write, “I agree.”
