Cyber+Bullying

PRINT ONE OF THESE FOR TOMORROW: (OUTLINE OF PRESENTATION) -Alex

 PRESENTATION:  “We are going to be talking to you today about cyber bullying.”  1. show cyber bullying video on wiki  2. have the class talk in their groups about their reaction to the video and what they know already about cyber bullying. 3. According to stopbullying.org "Cyberbullying" is when a child, preteen or teen is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child, preteen or teen using the Internet, interactive and digital technologies or mobile phones. It has to have a minor on both sides, or at least have been instigated by a minor against another minor. Once adults become involved, it is plain and simple cyber-harassment or cyberstalking. Adult cyber-harassment or cyberstalking is NEVER called cyberbullying. Statistics from a study by Dr. Justin W. Patchin and Dr. Sameer Hinduja. Done with 6,000 students aged 11-18 - 33% of them said they have been cyberbullied - 22 % of them felt sad (which is a precursor to suicide) they were different types such as rumors or embarrassing photos or videos.   Four Types; <span style="-webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: lime; background-image: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial;">Inadvertent: This cyberbully may not even realize he is guilty of cyberbullying. He might make what might be interpreted as a derogatory remark but really meant in a joking way. Perhaps in trying to present a strong persona he crosses the line into bullying territory. He may even be blatant in the bullying but in his own mind it’s just a fun experiment with personal power. <span style="line-height: 17.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"> <span style="-webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: lime; background-image: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial;">Mean girls Cyber bullying: <span style="line-height: 17.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"> -<span style="-webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: yellow; background-image: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial;">done by groups of young girls looking to have some fun. <span style="line-height: 17.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="-webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: yellow; background-image: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial; color: #5f497a; font-family: Arial;">-Could be creating a mean website to bash someone or sending text msgs. <span style="line-height: 17.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="-webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: yellow; background-image: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial; color: #5f497a; font-family: Arial;">-The victim is usually another girl. They want people to know who they are and that they have the power to bully others. As their status grows the bullying increases. <span style="line-height: 17.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="-webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: yellow; background-image: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial; color: #5f497a; font-family: Arial;">-Can lead to actual bullying <span style="line-height: 17.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="-webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: yellow; background-image: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial; color: #5f497a; font-family: Arial;"> - Several instances of mean girls’ cyberbullying have been linked with severe depression leading to suicide of the victim. <span style="line-height: 17.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="-webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: yellow; background-image: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial; color: #5f497a; font-family: Arial;">-If the mean girls don’t receive the recognition they want or don’t get the desired response from the victim or her friends, the bullying stops. <span style="line-height: 17.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">. <span style="-webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: lime; background-image: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial; color: #5f497a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;"> Power Hungry: The power hungry cyberbully can most closely be compared to the schoolyard bully. He needs to exert and show his power – not just to his victim but to others. Unlike mean girls who do it for fun, when a power hungry cyberbully doesn’t get the desired response he is more likely to escalate his attack. This bully wants to control people and have them fear him. <span style="line-height: 17.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"> These bullies may themselves be the victim of offline bullying. They might be slight in stature, female, or considered nerdy or a geek. This sub group of the power hungry cyberbully is the Revenge of the Nerds cyberbully. These bullies attack their victim without fanfare or bragging to friends. They are more secretive. Because of their technical skills they can attack directly or by proxy. <span style="line-height: 17.0pt; margin-left: .5in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 11.0pt .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -.5in;"> • Setting up email public accounts in victim’s name with one letter difference and then making statements designed to embarrass the victim. <span style="line-height: 17.0pt; margin-left: .5in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 11.0pt .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -.5in;"> • Posting a victim’s email to various pornographic sites, resulting in unwanted email that may be seen by the victim’s parents <span style="line-height: 17.0pt; margin-left: .5in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 11.0pt .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -.5in;"> • Bully gains access to the victim’s account and begins posting hateful and embarrassing statements. <span style="line-height: 17.0pt; margin-left: .5in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 11.0pt .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -.5in;"> • Entering hate groups chat rooms as the victim. <span style="line-height: 17.0pt; margin-left: .5in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 11.0pt .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -.5in;"> • Offering their victims for sex. <span style="line-height: 17.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"> Because of their technical skills online this Revenge of the Nerds cyberbully can easily become a power hungry cyberbully of the most dangerous and vicious k <span style="-webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: lime; background-image: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial; color: #5f497a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;"> Vengeful Angels: Again this is a cyberbully who doesn’t see himself as a bully. He thinks he is: <span style="line-height: 17.0pt; margin-left: .5in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 11.0pt .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -.5in;"> • Defending himself from attack <span style="line-height: 17.0pt; margin-left: .5in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 11.0pt .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -.5in;"> • Protecting others from attack <span style="line-height: 17.0pt; margin-left: .5in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 11.0pt .5in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -.5in;"> • Righting a perceived wrong <span style="line-height: 17.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"> In defending himself from being cyberbullied, he becomes a cyberbully. He is frequently angry and desires revenge or “pay back.” Vengeful angels become cyberbullies because they see no other path. If they can be shown alternative, effective methods to combat cyberbullying or righting wrongs, this type of cyberbullying may be reduced. <span style="line-height: 17.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"> These are the main types but a cyberbully may evolve from one type to another or integrate aspects of one into the other. An avenging angel may take on “helpers” in a variation of a mean girls cyberbully group. The “leader” of a mean girls cyberbully group may change to a power hungry cyberbully if the other members of her group lose interest. Understanding the motivation of the cyberbully can help in defusing the negative effects and, in some cases, even the cyberbullying itself. <span style="line-height: 19.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"> <span style="line-height: 19.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"> <span style="line-height: 19.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"> <span style="line-height: 19.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"> <span style="line-height: 19.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="-webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: aqua; background-image: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial; color: #5f497a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;">4. Ways to prevent cyber bullying: <span style="line-height: 19.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"> -Talk about it <span style="line-height: 19.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"> -Have them sign contracts (Put contract on ELMO) <span style="line-height: 19.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="-webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: aqua; background-image: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial; color: #5f497a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;">5. Cell phone activity <span style="line-height: 19.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="-webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: aqua; background-image: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial; color: #5f497a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;">6.

//(Alex)// //class contracts for bullying/cyber bullying: We could maybe alter it slightly to go well with cyber-bullying as well.//

*I also still think our mini cellphones with bully text messages are a good idea. Here is a site with actual mean comments/situations that we could include: http://www.slais.ubc.ca/courses/libr500/04-05-wt2/www/D_Jackson/examples.htm

(Erin) The contract is a good idea. we should definitely put it on the overhead or print copies out for them to see it. and yeah the cell phones will be a good artifact. I was trying to think what to make them out of, grey construction i guess will have to do. We can use the first two websites at the top to introduce the topic and discuss what the types of bullying there are and our main point of the presentation should be how to prevent it as teachers and even as parents.

(Alex) Sounds good! We can make perfect little cellular devices from grey construction paper, no worries. I like your idea of talking about the different types and then narrowing in on cyber-bullying.

(Matt) I really like both making the contracts and the mini cell phones. Maybe we can first pass out the cell phones the beginning and then pass out the contract at the end for everyone to sign. I guess because I am the "theme" moderator I should state the main idea we are trying to get across. So as Erin said "How to prevent cyber bullying as teachers and/or parents" should be our theme???

(Alex) That's perfect! Preventing it would be ideal, but maybe we should also talk about how to identify it among your future students. Are we teaching our lesson on cyber bullying to fellow teachers or to students that will be in our classroom in the future? Also, as editor, is everyone okay with making the phones and contracts as our artifact?

(Jeff) Yes this sounds like a great idea! We should definitely talk about not only what it is and how to prevent it, but we should also touch on how to deal with the problem. It is ashame that the problem is real but the fact of the matter is that we will most likely encounter it. Hopefully this cell phone idea will give the class a first person perspective of the problem so that they better know how to address it in the classroom. This is such an important topic and everybody should benefit from this. oh and p.s. good citing everybody!

Why do young people participate in cyberbullying - 22% said for revenge - 19% said the students deserved it -10.5% said they did it for fun
