 * ADDRESSING CYBER BULLYING IN THE CLASSROOM **

Cyber Bullying is an important issue to address within a classroom and there are several ways to deal with it. One interesting way to educate students about cyber bullying is to figure out with your class if they understand what cyber bullying is; for example, providing a Grade 9-12 class with a list of scenarios like this and identifying together the different levels of appropriate and inappropriate online actions and discussing the possible consequences of these actions.

If cyber bullying is a serious problem, going over legal issues of cyber bullying may impress upon your students the seriousness of online bullying. You may also want to talk to your students about the schools policy of bullying. Zero tolerance is a policy some schools have where any identified bullying actions result in consequences ranging from detention to potential suspension or expulsion.
