Want to learn more about Cyberbullying and how to prevent it? Carnegie Mellon University has resources you can use with your students. Click here to visit the website. Don’t forget to look at the “Hint Sheets” on the right. They also have a list of “cyber” terminology in their “Cyberpedia“. Scroll down to the Cyberpedia heading to access the list. For example, I learned that “flaming” is when someone intentionally posts mean and insulting comments about someone else. Needless to say, NO FLAMING ALLOWED! You may, however, peruse the website at your leisure. Enjoy!

A good alternative for internet searching. Google Safe Search still lets some words and phrases through. After typing a few “test” words, this one seems to block that. Inappropriate searches get a screen that says, “Oops, try again.” If you click on Parents at the bottom, you can learn more and see how to report inappropriate sites that sneak through their filters.
