Do you know how to deal with cyberbullies? If not, ask a 6^th grader. Our 6^th grade classes recently watched the video 7 ways to Block a Cyberbully (Learning Zone Express) during their library class time. We also had a discussion about the video. Next week, students will be looking at some recent, disturbing news articles relating to this important (and scary) topic. In future weeks, students will brainstorm ways to raise awareness about cyberbullying to the rest of Green Street School.

Here are some recommended websites:

WiredSafety.org

Cyberbullying.org

Netsmartz

*This last site includes an article and a link to an online video with the President and Mrs. Obama CYBERBULLYING IN THE WHITE HOUSE – PRESIDENT OBAMA SPEAKS OUT

Note: the DVD 7 Ways to Block a Cyberbully contains sections for parents and educators. You are welcome to borrow it form the GSS library.

So, just in case you have not run into a 6^th grader, here are the 7 ways to block a cyberbully*

1. Understand e-bullies and how they bully
2. Protect your passwords
3. Guard your personal information
4. Use safety software
5. Cut off communications
6. Say “no” to revenge
7. Tell someone
