I went to the 11:30 Friday Session of Bret Mason. The presentation was designed to raise awareness of online threats and provide content to share with students to increase awareness and safety. Brett and his co-presenter began the presentation sharing stories of students who were “unfinished photo albums” having taken their own lives as a result of bullying behavior. I think this would be an effective way to begin a discussion with students. The presentation also included several videos designed to promote safety and raise awareness, I will definitely be sharing some of these with my sixth graders before the year is out.

Here is the link for Brett’s cyberbullying webpage (which includes the video links).
