Featured Video: Cyberbullying

For educators, National Bullying Prevention Month is a great opportunity to discuss cyberbullying in the classroom.

In this Not In Our School video, “Students Take On Cyberbullying,” high school students tackle the problem of cyberbullying in their schools through a class discussion and presentation. They log onto Facebook and create a more positive online environment, addressing the problem of cyberbullying head-on.

Watch this short film with your students:

Discuss:

1. What strategies might students use to address the issue of cyberbullying?
2. What challenges might students confront?
3. What might be the consequences of doing nothing? 

Several students in this film were invited to participate in a town hall for New York Digital Citizenship Day cohosted by Common Sense Media and MTV. Stay tuned for more later this week!
