The most challenging item is no. 2: Encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive. That is at times very difficult, especially when some students have more (negative) experience with the topic and they are ashamed.

4. I think the whole school has to agree on that and how to do. Agreements and rules could be able to fight with bullying.

Virginia Muntean, Romania

virginia_muntean — 2018-02-20 16:40:26 UTC

The most challenging item for the listed ones would be number 2- encouraging students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive. Children, at any age, are quite shy when is about topics that they consider shameful or painful .Very close to this item would be number
4- Finding the right resources and ideas for activities to start the discussion with my students, because is extremely important to find the way to their mind and soul and make them talk or confess.

Teacher is not the owner of the one and only truth (which is an utopia). If we have created a classroom climate of trust, sharing, discussion, respect then maybe....maybe we are lucky to see our students speak their minds. In such cases the hard thing is to find out who faces problems and make him/her to ask for help and not really what is the "solution"-best case scenario for that problems.

Snjezana Kovacevic, Croatia

knjiznica_zlata — 2018-02-20 17:03:38 UTC

Encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive- I would create motivating atmosphere, trust, to be open to kids and back, to have some workshops about some topics...

Amelia De Chiara, Italy

amelia_dechiara — 2018-02-20 17:07:50 UTC

My students are young so often they don't feel comfortable or are too shy to talk about their problems with an adult. So I think the most challenging thing is "Encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive".

Felicia, Romania

felicia_daeu — 2018-02-20 17:09:15 UTC

I think that it is really important my students feel comfortable to discuss with me about sensitive topics, therefore a relaxed atmosphere is necessary and also they have to trust the teacher and the group members.

2018-02-20 17:26:44 UTC

I think that "Encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive" and "Finding the right resources and ideas for activities to start the discussion with my students" are the most challenging items. If theyfind the key to enter their inner world, to touch their hearts and gain their trust they could feel at their ease and open their minds. Moreover , finding the best materials/activities/resources to stimulare them innthe proper way is also important to achieve the goals.

Anja, Croatia

anja_cupurdija91 — 2018-02-20 19:36:25 UTC

Well, my pupils are very noisy when there's some subject that is not a classic lecture. So they keep question and sometimes I think I don't have a right answer. But, the key is a conversation. They all want to express their opinion so that is great and since they have in lot in common they understand each other. I'm there to quide them.

knockans — 2018-02-20 19:41:11 UTC

As parents are the Primary Educators it is imperative that they are acquainted with all policies and plans.

Argiro, Greece

Argiro_ — 2018-02-20 19:53:30 UTC

For me the most challenging aspect would be encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive. The reason of my concern is that no matter how hard you try, sometimes there is the chance that some students won't feel confident enough to share their thoughts. That's why creating a respectful and inclusive environment in class is my main objective.

Cristina, Malta

cristinabarbara205 — 2018-02-20 22:13:33 UTC

For me it is the first one - worrying about my students asking me something I don't know about.

Nowadays there are so many different apps, games, programs and things online it is at times difficult to catch up. I'm not a technology guru and sometimes students mention apps that I would not have used before.

María, Spain

2018-02-20 22:39:47 UTC

I find especially challenging two of them, the second and the fourth ones. The second because is important to foster a comfortable class climate for our students to feel confident but at the same time it is challenging for me to research, ask experts, find resources to start a diacussion with a minimum of spectatives for success. If I learn first I also feel more confident with such a delicated situation as cyberbullying cases.

Pedro F., Portugal

2018-02-20 23:53:38 UTC

in my opinion the most challenging tips are:

"Encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive" and "Finding the right resources and ideas for activities to start the discussion with my students".
It is essential that the students (who suffer) have confidence with whom they report what is happening to them, and that bullies are also aware of what they can do wrong in others

Rasa, Lithuania

I think that students should trust you. Then they can talk.

Andrew, Malta

Encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive. Getting students to openly talk about their personal sensitive issues might not be easy for them, but with the right attitude you might be able to build trust and enable them to express their feeling

ToniaC-Italy

tonia_calo — 2018-02-21 09:43:12 UTC

My students are teenagers with all the problems of their age, so the most challenging items for me is to be good at encouraging them to speak their mind and at empowering their self-esteem

Anna, UK

Educational_Life_CIC — 2018-02-21 11:36:22 UTC

I guess it's a combination of all of these as we are not an educational facility.
It's so important, but as the Young Reporters are not with us all the time I'd like to approach it in a lighthearted and approachable way so we don't scare them off, but ensure they know that there is open discussion.

Spomenka, Croatia

2018-02-21 11:46:53 UTC

We are trying to encourage my students to report and freely talk about their problems and opinions. I think its also important to warm students about the consequences of their behaviour.

Nella, Italy

nellaricci20 — 2018-02-21 11:52:45 UTC

I thing the most challenging is: Encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive. And teach them that for any problem or difficulty that may arise, they can always count on the help of their teacher so that they can feel safe and protected.

Safety

We often talk in the classroom about this problem and I try to make them aware as much as possible so that they can express their discomforts

Daniela Rubagotti, Italy

DRubagotti — 2018-02-21 14:09:41 UTC

I hope that the most challenging item would be find the right resources and ideas for activities to start the discussion with my students. I'm aware that there is a great amount of materials but it's difficult to choose the right one!

Johann Thorsteinsson

johannth — 2018-02-21 15:05:37 UTC

For me it is to create the level of trust needed to enable students to talk to me as a person they trust with issues that might be sensitive. Sometimes the level of trust within the group is not enough for this to happen, so it is also important to help them to work on the group dynamics.

Maria Rosaria Tafuro

tafymar — 2018-02-21 15:51:38 UTC

I think that each items listed may be challenging , it depends from the context you are, from the pupils you are dealing with .

Athanasios, Hellas

2018-02-21 16:51:52 UTC

I think that the most challenging is to find the right resources and ideas for activities to start the discussion with the students. Even though there are many resources available, it is difficult to find those that fit with the idiosyncrasy and the culture of the targeted students and serve the purposes of the project.

Daniela Brancaccio, Italy

exenia83 — 2018-02-21 17:15:14 UTC

In my opinion the most challenging aspect of dealing with cyberbullying in my classrooms is encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive. This can only happen if there is the degree of confidence and trust needed to make them feel confident about me and my role but also about their peers who are ready to speak and share experiences about the topic.
This is the reason why if we decide to set up an effective support scheme we have to choose the right peers and to make the students feel comfortable enough to open their minds and talk about every existing or hypothetical issue or problem .

I think the problem is just to find the right resources and ideas for the activities to start the discussion with my students

I enrolled the first run of this MOOC last year as I was worried about what to say to my students.
Thus, I think that item number 1 was my main motivation to enroll this course.
I agree that all four items are very important

Athina, Greece

aginoudi — 2018-02-21 17:59:39 UTC

All the resources we get in the course and the exchange of ideas and good practices help us a lot.

FILOMENA BIANCO, ITALY

2018-02-21 18:05:59 UTC

In my opinion the most challenging issue is to encourage my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive, becuse you must be able to let students trust you and you must be able to understand and say the right words in the right way. I'm attendind this MOOC in order to find some right resources and ideas to start the discussion with them.

Ivana, Croatia

ivana_milasin — 2018-02-21 19:54:14 UTC

To me most challenging would be (and is) Encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive because sometimes they are to concerned what will others think.

Maria, Malta

maria_cluett — 2018-02-21 20:53:13 UTC

'Encouraging students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive' would be the most challenging because I find that some children who find themselves in certain situations like being bullied or the like tend to have a low self-esteem and therefore find it difficult to share their experiences, especially in front of others. However, at our school we have a designated teacher who has a lot of experience with such situations.

Zvonko, Serbia

gzvonko62 — 2018-02-21 20:56:00 UTC

I think that each items listed, would be interesting. It depends on situation.

I think "Finding the right resources and ideas for activities to start the discussion with my students" should be the bigger challenge.

karenfarrugia37 — 2018-02-21 22:30:11 UTC

This is something very fresh as I happened to discuss it with my pupils this morning since it was part of a discussion in a Religion lesson. What I emphasized most was that they should always find a buddy they can trust to help them speak about anything that might be bothering them in front of a grown up. They must never be afraid of anyone that might be bullying them in any way but they should always speak up. I also spoke to them about the bullies who one day could have been victims themselves. So if they speak up both situations can be addressed, that of the bully and also that of the victim. They seemed to open up and participated well in the discussion

Malgosia/Poland

mbkulesza — 2018-02-22 15:35:24 UTC

All of the items are important for me. But this course gives me an opportunity to find the new ideas and resources to continue the discussion with my students.

Brenda, Italy

2018-02-22 16:16:13 UTC

Worrying about my students asking me something I don't know about is the most challenging issue for me. They are far more familiar with online/ video games and apps than me, though generally speaking they are more than happy to explain them!

Marina, Croatia

2018-02-22 17:40:27 UTC

Encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive

This is more challenging than others because my students in primary school don't like to speak with teachers about their problems.

Đurđica, Croatia

durdica_lucek — 2018-02-22 18:59:56 UTC

In my opinion encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive is the most difficult out of this four scenarios. Students are scared to speak about their emotions. They are afraid to be laughted at. Some students are shy therefore they are sensitive about their emotions.

Emiliana Rufo, Italy

emiliana_rufo — 2018-02-22 19:44:03 UTC

I think my students will probably find some problems in talking about their real life outside school. So my challenging task would be:
Encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive

It is easier making a joke and laugh for them than talking about relationships and teenage problems.

Maristela, Croatia

Finding the right resources and ideas for activities to start the discussion with my students. To reach the goals, it's important to use the materials, interactive activities, the necessary resources, and will be a way to reach their "heart" and they will surely confess.

Mateja, Croatia

89mateja_petrovic — 2018-02-22 21:14:07 UTC

I believe it is Encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive. Children at this age are very sensitive and closed if some tricky topics are concerned. They almost do not share such things with their parents. That is why we need to encourage such a way of expression. First of all create a positive atmosphere so that they feel free and without fear. To create a feeling that they can trust us and we will do everything we can to help them.

Pedro, Portugal

pedro_dias1 — 2018-02-23 00:04:11 UTC

I would say the most difficult things is Encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive. Normally, in a class discussion, there are always some students who will join in and contribute ideas, but there is a group who is too shy or insecure to participate. You want to get ideas from everybody, but shier students will have a hard time when the topic is especially sensitive.

Natalia, Moldova

Finding the right resources and ideas for activities to start the discussion with my students

I think we should be very careful when we want to offer an effective help.
We are not specialized in this kind of intervention so before acting I would ask for help and i would select activities with my colleagues and I would share materials and decisions. Here is an effective videos I would use to encourage my students to face the problem

Stanley,Nigeria

stanonyedika — 2018-02-23 08:37:10 UTC

For me it is getting the students to speak when the issue is quite sensitive.Many would prefer to be secretive to protect their self image or to avoid scandal.

Natalia Grushko, Ukraine

zoriana010167 — 2018-02-23 08:42:18 UTC

I think the best way to do it is to make students share their thoughts and worris with each other. It have been experienced for years that sharing you worries can help you improve you emotional health and cope with your struggles. It's also a way to get some advice from other people.

The second one... it is not easy to avoid commonplaces...

Bryony, Devon, England

brose12 — 2018-02-24 16:12:44 UTC

The first one. It is very difficult to know the right answer to any one student's problems, as different situations often require different approaches and it may take a few attempts to find the right solution. This can be worrying as you don't want to feel as though you have let a student down, by not having the right solution straight away.

Sonia, Italy

corsostrumenti — 2018-02-24 16:33:25 UTC

In my case, encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive is the most difficult aspect of dealing with cyberbullying.

Students really care about their peers' opinions and this means that they don't want to disappoint their friends and implies that sometimes they won't do the right thing or tell a friend they're doing wrong for fear of losing them. This could lead to restraining from speaking one's mind in class too. Also, sometimes some topics are an open wound (for example body image, or being rejected by peers) for some students and talking about them can only exacerbate this pain.

Maria Mona, Romania

namoloiu_mona — 2018-02-24 16:40:52 UTC

It's difficult to say. But first step is to find the right resources.

Cristina/Romania

lady_blue_ro — 2018-02-24 18:19:58 UTC

At first I found it difficult to start this kind of discussion because I knew that all I say and how I say it's important for the future understanding of this situation (cyberbullying).So I talked to people and gathered information on the topic and now I have some resources to help me. But most of all I worry about questions that I won't be able to answer right away.Changes happen all the time, it's impossible to have all the answers, but students are always waiting to get the necessary information when they need it.This is not a reason for me not to act and I hope in time I will learn more and know to answer the most of the questions in order to surpass this challenging aspect.

ninaandrija — 2018-02-24 23:14:41 UTC

The greatest challenge is to encourage pupils to talk about themselves, especially when the topic is sensitive. The truth is that it is much easier when they are smaller, because as they grow up, they become less open to share their personal experience with others.

1. Worrying about my students asking me something I don’t know about.

Crina , RomaniaAll 4 of them are quite challenging, especially when talking to teenagers. But I think that finding the right resources and ideas for activities to start the discussion with my students can be quite difficult.

In my opinion, number 2 is the most challenging item (Encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive).
It's difficult to speak out loud your fears because you can feel vulnerable. And for a child this anxiety is even bigger because he doesn't have enough experience to deal with it.

Younger students openly discuss their problems. Older students reluctantly express their feelings and are rarely entrusted to the teachers. It is up to us to change it.

and subsequently

Finding the right resources and ideas for activities to start the discussion with my students. I have a quite close reletionship with my students and it's not a problem to switch from lecturing to discussion about a (reasonable) topic. My point of view is that it's more important to make them become a complete/self confident personalities rather then "mark collectors"...

My students usually speak their mind, even if their ideas are obviously not ok. The challenge is to change and guide their perspective!

2. Encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive
I think this is the most challenging item for my students, as they are no more used to talk about their private life and experiences as they were when they were little children.Teenagers worry about their peers' opinion and they hardly ever talk about their feelings or fears because they think they become vulnerable and subject to mockery.

Encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive

Talking about one's problems, sharing with the teachers /colleagues can be a very difficult thing to do for a lot of children. The reasons are various, but I can state some of the reasons that I identified: shame, fear to be misjudged, difficulty when talking about one's private life.

I dont worry about that. I'm honest to my students. If i don't know something what they ask, I tell them I will think about it or research that until the next class.
2. Encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive
This isn't easy and every child is different. Some of them always speak what they feel and think, and some of them are shy and never speek. We can only try to talk to them alone or thru e-mail...

Encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive
At their age, my students are a little confident in the ability of adults to solve their problems and prefer to deal with themselves or in the group of friends without asking for help from teachers or parents. Cases in which adult communication works as well as with friends is quite rare.

In my opinion, the n. 4. For me it is very important to find the right resources to deal with the topic that have already been studied and experimented in young people, this would allow us to arrive at a conscious discussion in achieving the goal.
I would start by presenting the resource and then through peer talk I would make the students open up to the debate.

Encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive.

Part of the challenge lies in the fact that we never fully know which issues will be “hot buttons” for our students. Conversations can become heated very quickly, and before long, it can feel like the class is careening out of control.

3.4 How to set up an effective peer-support scheme

sonialeao — 2018-02-27 09:06:04 UTC

Make small role play games, where a topic is given a situation and students will make the decision they find and then explain it to their colleagues, to explore feelings, reactions, ways of thinking and acting ...

I think that the most challenging thing is encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive. I am older than them, I am an adult and a teacher, so it might be difficult for them to open up and speak their minds. I try to encourage them to do so and show them support because it is important to have the support of an adult and of a teacher in school.

Iuliana, Romania

Encouraging my sts to speak their minds especially when the topic is sensiteve is always difficult also because I have 25-30 sts per class. Sometimes I let them express their feelings in a piece of paper in an anonymous way, then we discuss altogether. In this way it is a bit easier.

An effective peer-support scheme is based on students' understanding what school will do for well-being. Having meetings or assemblies with students could be a beginning step about the process. Introduced peer-support system to the students, peer-supporters can apply to join the training sessions. On the other hand, positive school climate could be a key word for implementing those steps. Challenging issue for me to find the right resources and ideas for activities because I have tried different activities the most important part is to practice an activity in the classroom with a joyful! Not enough just teaching:

Theodora Zakou - Ioannidou, Cyprus

t_zakou — 2018-03-01 10:22:04 UTC

In my opinion, students must feel easy to talk to their teacher and share with them anything that concerns them. If this is achieved on behalf of the teacher then it is easy to set up an effective peer-support scheme.

Sara, Spain

sara_miguelez1 — 2018-03-01 18:02:57 UTC

What I emphasized most was that they should always find a buddy they can trust to help them speak about anything that might be bothering them in front of a grown up. They must never be afraid of anyone that might be bullying them in any way but they should always speak up. I also spoke to them about the bullies who one day could have been victims themselves. So if they speak up both situations can be addressed, that of the bully and also that of the victim.

Encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive

We have a very wide range of students in our school from a very wide range of backgrounds and there are some strong opinions held by some of them. On the surface it can appear as if everyone gets along, but they're not all as tolerant as they might appear, and there are definitely some unpleasant undercurrents, so I do think this will be one of the most challenging aspects.
On a one-to-one basis kids do speak up quite freely, but in a more open forum I'm not sure what would happen.

I think the most challenging item is "Encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive" because the students that may need to speak more may be the ones that are too shy to express their opinon.
Moreover, as I am a kindergarten teacher I think talking about this is quite abstract for them. Thus it is better to teach it with concrete materials like a storybook.

It seems to me that the most challenging item is encouraging the student to speak their minds about sensitive topics because when the students (especially the one involved in some episode of cyberbullying) find the courage to speak about it, it means that a lot of work has been done and that the solution is near. It seems to me very hard to build in the class such a level of confidence

Barbara from Italy: the peer support team at school could be a great idea, because students definitely prefer to tell their peers what happens to them.

I think the challanging thing for me would be to "encourage my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive". It is not easy to establish the right empathy with everyone and have specific skills to deal with such delicate subjects. Working using peer support team can help all to do better our teacher mission.

I think that "Encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive" and "Finding the right resources and ideas for activities to start the discussion with my students" are the most challenging items.
I would start by peer talk I would make the students open up to the debate.

4. Finding the good resources and ideas for activities to start the discussion with my students
Faced with such heterogeneous groups of students, it is difficult to attract attention and involvement of all in an activity. Each student brings a different experience, so they are sensitized by different themes / approaches.
Another problem is to make them feel empathy and genuine openness to the debate.

"Encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive".
As some students might not feel comfortable discussing their situation and feelings, as they might be shy or not sure how a peer would be the right person to support them.

I think is not really about the resource itself, because there are so many out there, but actually making an impact on students through this activities. Making them participate and really believe in what they are talking about.

Encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive. It means that my students are completely trusted in me and I have to not disappoint them, I have to learn from them, I have to maintain a right relationship, open and trusted based. And I have to encourage the peer support as well.

Giuseppina V. (from Rome, Italy)

For me the most challenging activity is <>. Nobody likes being exposed to ridicule, nobody likes feeling vulnerable, everyone is brought to shut himself up when talking about sorrows, inner feelings and sense of insecurity. Besides it is important for children to have a peaceful and respectful atmosphere in the class, that is very difficult for teachers to obtain and mantain it.

By creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment and providing opportunities for open dialogue and reflection, you can encourage your students to speak their minds on sensitive topics in a respectful and constructive manner.
