The document discusses cyberbullying and sexting. It presents examples of cyberbullying including students creating a "We Hate Ashley" profile to post cruel comments about her and invite others to email her insults. Another example describes two students creating a racist social media profile with threats after a school altercation involving a student of a different race. The document asks what role schools should play in addressing online arguments and issues like those faced by Ryan Halligan.

In Defense of Anonymous Commenters: Jen Eyer at TEDxJen Strayer Eyer
My talk at TEDx Kalamazoo in defense of anonymous internet commenters. In it, I argue that anonymity is important because it gives voice to the voiceless.
But any online community — whether it requires real names or not — needs strong management. This talk outlines those steps, too.

Created Equal: Civil Rights Outreach @ Mississippi Academic LibrariesHillary Richardson
This dynamic session will showcase how three universities in Mississippi promoted and participated in the “Created Equal: America’s Civil Rights Struggle” grant. This film and discussion series is part of the National Endowment for the Humanities’ and the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History’s effort to continue the conversation about civil rights and equality in the United States. Participants will learn about the grant process, challenges and highlights from the events, and lessons learned through collaboration. In addition to the films and their follow-up discussions, the libraries offered supplemental programming and used social media to garner more publicity and generate more discussion for these events. We will discuss the in-person methods and media outlets used to keep the conversation about civil rights going on our respective campuses, and will discuss how outreach and social media factored in the evaluation of our efforts and the planning for future programming.
This presentation explains the differences between MLA Style 6th edition and 7th edition. Please email me at rackleyn@lscc.edu for permission to embed.
This presentation is part of a 45 minute seminar for teens on proper and safe behavior online and with cell phones, including: cell phone etiquette, texting etiquette, "sexting," email, social networking and cyberbullying.
I created this slide show for Middle and High school students to help educate them about cyberbullying and how it can start out so innocently, and become so very hurtful. I hope you will be able to use parts or all of this presentation with your students.

Ryan Halligan?
• STUDENTS’ IDEAS:

EDUC W200 Week 13
6. EXAMPLE #1
• Some high school students created a “We hate
Ashley” profile on a popular social networking
profile. On this “slam book” profile, they have posted
cruel and vicious comments about Ashley. They invite
students to send Ashley email messages telling her
how ugly she is and how no one likes her.
EDUC W200 Week 13
7. EXAMPLE #2
• Three students were involved in a school altercation. One
was African American. Two were Caucasian. The principal
addressed the situation and thought it had been
resolved.
• Shortly thereafter, the two Caucasian students created a
threatening racist profile on a social networking site. This
site contained references to dragging African-American
people behind cars and lynchings.
• Other students at school linked to the profile. The African
American student found out about the site and has told
the Black Student Union.

Editor's Notes
After viewing the video about Ryan Halligan's ordeal and considering last week's topics of online behavior, is there a balance that could have prevented this? What do you think of the potential of programs like Stop, Block, and Tell? What aspects of it do you feel would be the most and least successful? Considering the different online and offline aspects of the MySpace fight, which areas do you feel the school has jurisdiction?http://www.indiana.edu/~educw200/week13.html

The following are some examples of cyberbullying and its possible impact at school: In the first incident, there is clearly a significant risk that Ashley will have difficulties in school, resulting in school failure and avoidance. Further, she could respond by attacking the bullies at school or by committing suicide.
In the second incident, there is a significant risk of school violence, as well as the perception among African-American students that the school is not safe for them.
