Not sure if you read the news story this week about two Florida teens (aged 12 and 14) being arrested on bullying charges after another teen committed suicide (Read story). Did you know that 50% of US teens have experienced cyber-bullying? Almost the same number of kids has admitted to bullying others online. The facts tell a story that is a reality for our students—cyber-bullying is real! Whether we are aware of it or not, cyberbullying is a prominent feature of growing up today. Since October is Bullying Prevention Awareness month, this week’s D50 Ed Tech Newsletter tackles cyber-bullying and provides educator’s resources to prevent bullying at their school. This week's Newsletter includes: A fact sheet about cyberbullying, Parent Q&A sheets, Commonsense Media cyberbully lesson plans (all grade levels), and classroom posters for teachers. Let’s work together to make D50 a safe learning environment for all of our students!
