Digital Relationships

Teacher Learning

Digital Relationship week's lessons look at ways to stand up to bullies and as well as the consequences of being a bully. There are also lessons about what conversations are not appropriate to have online and how to know whether or not some online relationships are real.

Watch the 2 videos below about Digital Relationships.

While watching video reflect on:

  • At the beginning of the video, predict what you think will happen.
  • Think about students in your class, how many do you know of have dealt with a similar problem?
  • Why is the outcome of this video so much different than the outcome of videos we are used to seeing about cyberbullying?
  • How can you encourage your students to be like Daniel's classmates?
