I was most inspired by your comment that we can hide our heads in the sand or we can step up and teach this generation about internet safety. I myself will try to do as much as I can to teach my Grade 3 students about internet safety - oh yes and we blog too. I applaud you for writing more about this issue.

This certainly makes me rethink about blogging. I did find an interesting site: http://cyberbully.org/that had some good information. Cyber bullying is everyone's business and the best response is a pro-active or preventative one. As parents we need to get involved and be aware. If a child is is being bullied online, take action. Kids need to develop their own moral code so they will choose to behave ethically online. How scary is this!!! I am new to the topic of cyberbulling to the extent that Kathy Sierra has experienced!

A recent post by Anne Davis introduced me to the topic. According to Cyberbully.org, an extension of The Center for Safe and Responsible Internet Use, “Cyberbullying is sending or posting harmful or cruel text or images using the Internet or other digital communication devices.” Like bullying, cyberbullying is a social issue. While certain technology-based solutions such as concealing your identity may work, we should seek a solution that creates a change in the behavior of the bullies and those being bullied. Filtering content and preventing our students from using the Internet and various communication technology is not a solution. It is a way to avoid and ignore the problem.

How can one treat someone else in such a horrendous way and not even feel some kind of guilt! What happened to the good old rule: treat others the way you would like to be treated? Let's all try to “stamp out bullying" and make this a better place to live in! Action points that we can start think about - especially within schools: http://www.teachingexpertise.com/articles/stamping-out-bullying-576 I totally agree that bullying is a totally unacceptable type of behaviour - and should be tackled more in the home and in schools.
