This week’s technology class will explore the topic of cyberbullying and how bullying is prevalent with technology. Students will analyze what is appropriate to post online and what is not. Students will also view examples of cyberbullying and examine what they should do if faced with a cyberbullying situation.

7 – 8: Cyberbullying Posters
Students in 7th and 8th grades are encouraged to be leaders to the young kids of SMOY. They will demonstrate their knowledge of Microsoft Word by showing me what they know how to do in Word to create posters to combat cyberbullying. These posters will then be hung up around the school. This activity has two purpose: Allow the students to show me what they already know in Microsoft Word and present an opportunity to showcase what they know and have learned about cyberbullying to be leaders in getting rid of bullying in the world around them.
DID YOU KNOW?:
Your computer has a built in camera!
- On a PC, you can hit the PRINT SCREEN button.
- On a MAC, press command + shift + 3
In order to effectively document bullying, students will learn the use of the “print Screen key”. This is especially useful in reporting cyberbullying without the option to print or save. This week, your students experimented with this option by taking a screen shot and pasting the image into Microsoft Word.
