Hi everyone, I just wanted to post a reminder that today is Stop Cyberbullying Day, and we're mobilizing a global conversation about the various forms of online harassment and what we can do to combat them. Hundreds of bloggers have posted on the subject already, and I expect there will be many more over the course of the day.
How can you participate? Here are a few suggestions. - Post something online. Whether you want to blog, vlog or podcast about it, we encourage you to contribute something to the discussion today. It can be a personal story about cyberbullying, a collection of resources, advice you want to share - whatever you want. Then be sure to tag it "stopcyberbullying" so we can aggregate it. - Have an offline conversation with someone about it. Talk with your families, your colleagues, your students, your neighbors - we could all benefit from a frank discussion about online harassment. - Participate in the Stop Cyberbullying social network (http://stopcyberbullying.ning.com) Since there's no way we can do justice to the issue in one day, we've set up this online community where people can share resources and talk. There's a growing number of videos and other resources related to cyberbullying, along with a feed of everything that's been tagged "stopcyberbullying." - Learn more about the issue. You can learn more by participating in the social network, or you can visit resources like www.cyberbullying.org, www.stopcyberbullying.org, www.ncsriu.org and bullying.org, just to name a few. - Follow the feed. As more people contribute their own content and tag it, the number of resources will grow. You can subscribe to the feed or follow it on Twitter: http://app.feeddigest.com/digest3/RBPBKDZEIH.rss http://twitter.com/nocyberbullies So please join me and countless other members of the online community as we join together and find ways to combat online harassment in all of its forms. thanks, andy ------------------------ Andy Carvin andycarvin at yahoo com www.andycarvin.com www.pbs.org/learningnow ------------------------ _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list DIGITALDIVIDE@digitaldivide.net http://digitaldivide.net/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
