Digital Citizenship: Breaking the Culture of Mean

There are New Digital Rules but children still need to learn that courtesy, kindness and good citizenship come first in the physical and digital world but cyberbullying can occur 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

“Digital Citizenship: Breaking the Culture of Mean,” is a 30-minute DVD produced by TIE, a professional development association as a tool for teachers. It explores how to identify, address and stop bullying and cyberbullying in a variety of settings, and it suggests that students need to be trained in how to leave a “digital footprint” that will have positive, not negative, effects on their futures.
