Response:
I just recently changed around my reading groups and have
the group in place that I want to begin blogging for the project I created for
this course. I’ve already started the discussion with them about online use and
safety and they quickly began telling me some things I was shocked by, since
they are so young. Cyber bullying
is already occurring and these students desperately want to talk about it and
want support.
Because of this, for this response I want to focus on online
safety for students, online resources to support that, and some general
exciting ideas I’ve been finding that are helpful for where I am in this
process. I plan on using these
tools to help me understand what and how I should be teaching this.
Online Safety:
-Youtube has a ton of videos that you can sort through, both
for educators and parents.
- http://www.teachingideas.co.uk/welcome/start.htm. LOVE this! It’s a tutorial of sorts that brings you through how the
internet is used. I WILL be using
this with my students!
- http://www.freetech4teachers.com/2011/01/11-resources-for-teaching-learning-web.html Great list of ways to teach. (That’s where I got the idea above).
Exciting to me!
Here are some CCSS I found that integrate technology with
what we are teaching:
W.4.6. With some guidance and support from adults, use
technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing as well as
to interact and collaborate with others; demonstrate sufficient command of keyboarding
skills to type a minimum of one page in a single sitting.
RI.8.7. Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of using
different mediums (e.g., print or digital text, video, multimedia) to present a
particular topic or idea.
SL.11-12.2. Integrate multiple sources of information
presented in diverse formats and media (e.g., visually, quantitatively, orally)
in order to make informed decisions and solve problems, evaluating the
credibility and accuracy of each source and noting any discrepancies among the
data.
SL.11-12.5. Make strategic use of digital media (e.g.,
textual, graphical, audio, visual, and interactive elements) in presentations
to enhance understanding of findings, reasoning, and evidence and to add
interest.
I am using the fourth grade standard in trying to get
students to collaborate and publish online. These are incredibly important because in order for teachers
to effectively teach these standards cyber bullying needs to be addressed in
our classrooms. I’ve briefly
mentioned before that I’m learning about cyber bullying with my third and
fourth grade students which was extremely surprising to me because I initially
thought it was a topic I didn’t really need to deal with.
We want our students to be 21st century learners
and we can’t help them do that without 21st century skills. If we are going to be teaching them
these skills then we need to teach them the responsibility that comes along
with it.

Emily,
Thanks for all the great resources! Although I really personally feel that we need to teach students to handle bullying independently, I think many of the links you shared would be valuable resources in doing just that. Many students merely need a gentle nudge in the right direction.
I never really thought of cyber bullying as being worse than physical bullying, but after many discussions about the permanence of online posts, I guess it makes sense. Words disappear the second they are spoken, but when typed, they have the ability to last forever. Thanks for sharing these great resources!
