Such a delicate balance for us, as teachers, to be responsible for these students' online presence, on top of the education we try to provide. The list never ends....]]> 2018-11-13 04:21:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mandyk1291/kz7y3fpeqe0e/wish/303565253 alikapustin https://padlet.com/mandyk1291/kz7y3fpeqe0e/wish/303878894 Allowing time for students to voice their concerns in the classroom will create a culture of respect. Students may be less likely to be a cyberbully if they know students will openly discuss any online issues in the classroom. Also, i think that when students feel that social media is acceptable in the classroom, they will be less likely to try and "sneak" this platform during instruction. Teaching students how to appropriately us Twitter, Instagram, and other social media platforms, will decrease any misuse.  ]]> 2018-11-13 17:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mandyk1291/kz7y3fpeqe0e/wish/303878894 jjtraube1 https://padlet.com/mandyk1291/kz7y3fpeqe0e/wish/304084960 I also think that it is important for teachers to teach digital citizenship to students. You are right that students do not know the repercussions of cyber bullying and I would also argue that students do not know that is or isn't cyber bullying. It is important for students to be educated on these topics and unfortunately, I do not think that the schools are doing enough to educate students. ]]> 2018-11-14 00:24:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mandyk1291/kz7y3fpeqe0e/wish/304084960
