Cyberbullying Websites for Information

For today, you will be gathering information to put into your presentation.

I recommend creating a WORD document (save as Cyberbullying Project--and save in your Cyberbullying folder that you created on Tuesday).


Once you find useful information, you can save it to your WORD document and ALSO put the LINK to the page in your doc so that you can go back later if you need to.

Info to include:
Definition of Cyberbullying
How does Cyberbullying work?
What to do if you're being Cyberbullied
How to prevent Cyberbullying from ever starting/happening
What are the effects of Cyberbullying?
What are the signs of Cyberbullying?
How can parents help?
