Cyber Communication

In a nutshell, people don’t talk the same way online as they do in person.

The medium of the Internet may take the anxiety out of social situations, allowing them to express themselves more freely.

It may also make it easier for someone to exaggerate their feelings in the hope that they convey an idea that’s not actually as intense as it sounds.

Emphasize Empathy

The key to being a good digital citizen is empathy.

This comes down to one big question every student should ask themselves before they post anything online:

“What would I think of someone who posted this?”

This question alone can change someone’s actions and — by extension — someone else’s life.
