- 4. While most cyberbullying incidents take place outside of school, incidents often originate in school (Paul, Smith, & Blumberg, 2010).
- 5. College admissions staff and human resource departments are asking for access to personal web pages (or searching for them) to view what the applicant has posted (Dowell, Burgess, & Cavanaugh, 2009).
- 6. Children’s Internet Protection Act of 2012 (CIPA) “Schools may not receive E-rate discounts unless they certify they provide an educational program for students about appropriate online behavior, including interacting with individuals on social networking websites and in chat rooms, and Cyberbullying awareness and response” (Federal Communications Commission, 2013).
- 7. (Stauffer, Heath, Coyne, & Ferrin, 2012) (Stauffer, Heath, Coyne, & Ferrin, 2012) School Districts and Schools may be held legally accountable for failing to respond to cybersafety violations if any harm is caused by these violations.
- 8. Students need to be taught cyberbullying safety strategies explicitly if they are going to protect themselves when using electronic devices (Toshack & Colmar, 2012).
- 9. Comprehensive District Cybersafety Program UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEM
- 10. While there are other cybersafety threats such as identity theft and computer viruses and malware, cyberbullying and sexting pose the greatest threat to disrupting the educational process.

- 23. Cybersafety Student Survey • The district and individual schools should know what kind of cybersafety problem they have and how big it is. • This information should guide district and school administrators on an appropriate response and they type of cybersafety education program needed. • One instrument to use is the Cyberbullying and Online Aggression Survey developed by Hinduja & Patchin (2009) (Sbarbaro & Enyear Smith, 2011).

Notas del editor
- Currentlycybersafety education methods are uncoordinated which leaves schools and school districts exposed to fall out because of incidents involving technology. This proposed plan based on research and personal experience will help standardize cybersafety education so students will understand the dangers misusing technology can bring. The ribbon is the symbol of cyberbullying based on cyberbully victim Megan Meir’s fondness of painting her fingernails black with white polka dots.
- This slide shows the percentage of students who use the Internet and have a personal means of Internet access. Also, this shows how mobile devices are used to commit cybersafety violations.
- This shows incidents at school play a part in starting cybersafety incidents.
- Students do not understand what they post on the Internet stays on the Internet. Posts made during their youth could be found and used against them when a students wants to attend a competitive college or seeking a position in a desired career field.
- CIPA clearly states the requirement for cybersafety education.
- While there have been few if any cases involving schools and school districts involvement in litigation over cybersafety incidents it is only a matter of time before a plaintiff party attempts to hold schools and school districts liable for a lack of cybersafety education as a cause of an incident.
- Students frequently use electronic devices but do not have any concept of how cyberbullying and sexting can harm them when using these devices.
- Schools should be encouraged to discuss the threats of identity theft and computer viruses and malware with students. However, cyberbullying and sexting potentially have a greater impact on the instructional process and the personal safety and security of students. Identity theft along with virus and malware threats should be taught but these subjects can be inserted into other subjects such as technology classes.
- There are other issues regarding cybersafety such as identity theft or viruses and malware. However, cyberbullying and sexting have the potential of causing the most disruption of the educational process.
- The key information to take away from this slide is the average shown.
- The key information is the average of students who admit to being cyberbullies.
- These numbers might not seem significant, especially the female numbers but there is greater chance of serious harm coming to these students.
- This slide shows the need for students to be reminded of cybersafety issues each year. Especially in the high school years.
- This slide shows the potential harm to victims of cyberbullying.
- This slide shows the potential harm to victims of cyberbullying.
- This shows the harm that could come to cyberbullies.
- Students have a way of quickly finding ways to misuse new technologies before adults may be aware of them. This is why there should be ongoing research about new technology trends.
- Data from these surveys can direct districts and schools on where to focus cybersafety education efforts.
- Many programs are targeted more to adults so great care needs to be taken when evaluating such programs. Cybersafety issues can differ from school to school which is why ongoing research is needed to target areas of instructional needs. Students should be consulted for them to buy-in to cybersafety programs and determine potential effectiveness.

- Training required administrators, guidance counselors, and teachers is key to a successful cybersafety program.
- Constant changes in technology and cybersafety issues require someone to manage a cybersafety program but it should not require an FTE. Some of these duties may be done by different people but should be consolidated into one position to maintain continuity in the program.
- The candidate for DCC should be someone who is comfortable talking with the press. This PR duty is crucial to showing the public the school district takes the issue of cybersafety seriously.
- The key point is cybersafety instruction should take place in classes all students must take to achieve maximum coverage. While technology courses might seem a logical place for cybersafety instruction not all students take these courses every year.
- Because cyberbullying and sexting cause unique problems that differ from normal school discipline issues, greater care needs to be taken in dealing with cybersafety issues. An example would be when a female student’s explicit pictures are spread around campus she would feel a shame and guilt that may make her more suicidal. A counselor needs to understand this unique situation and be able to treat it while an administrator would work with the parents to encourage support for the student.
- Victims ofcybersafety violations may not be easy to spot so teachers need to understand what to look for in students and how to report violations quickly to minimize damage.
- Communication with parents is key in any safety programs. However, many parents may not know what to look for or believe misinformation that focuses attention elsewhere.
- Districts should offer classes to parents to educate them more on what can be done at home to safeguard children against cybersafety threats.
