What should you do when someone uses mean or hurtful language on the internet?
As kids grow, they'll naturally start to communicate more online. But some of what they see could make them feel hurt, sad, angry, or even fearful. Help your students build empathy for others and learn strategies to use when confronted with cyberbullying.
Students will be able to:
Understand that it's important to think about the words we use, because everyone interprets things differently.
Identify ways to respond to mean words online, using S-T-O-P.
Decide what kinds of statements are OK to say online and which are not.
