Module 3 focused on cyberbullying, which is an issue as vast and as difficult to pinpoint as the internet itself. Due to its digital format Cyberbullying is often anonymous. Since Cyberbullying takes place through the internet, the abuse does not stop once a student leaves the school; instead individuals can be harassed constantly wherever they are, through their mobile devices. Both traditional forms of bullying and cyberbullying are illegal, but cyberbullying can be more difficult to monitor and track. I have chosen to use Pinterest to create a pinboard containing resources regarding cyberbullying. I have collected videos, websites, and other resources that could prove useful in educating others about what cyberbullying is, how to prevent cyberbullying and how to respond to cyberbullying.

I plan on using Pinterest throughout my learning and teaching career as it is an easy to use tool for finding and sharing resources. Videos, websites and other sources can be "pinned" so that you can collect resources in "boards" and share them with others.
Module 3: Cyberbullying and Social Media Resources

Digital words may be instant and incorporeal . . .

are lasting and very real.
Educating students about bullying and cyberbullying is crucial in preventing and responding to these crimes. Informing students about Digital Citizenship and Digital Footprints can only benefit the individual as they continue to connect with others over the internet.
Below is a sample high school lesson plan I created, showing how an educator might address these concepts with a class.
