What does a student’s selfie pose tell you about them? How can we enable students to manage the inevitable conflicts that go back and forth between their real lives and their lives on social media? What is the difference between cyberbullying and conflict that occurs online? How can educators effectively guide young people when they are in conflict online?

October is National Bullying Prevention Awareness month. In this edWebinar with Rosalind Wiseman, a renowned thought leader, author, and spokesperson on the subject of cyberbullying and social media. This presentation will help you understand the power of social media conflicts in students’ lives and provide valuable information on anti-cyberbullying efforts.

In this program, Rosalind helps teachers and administrators understand critical insights on how students use social media, and the common drives that lead to conflict and bullying. She shares insights based on focus groups and interviews with young people around the country. Learn how she tracks the new cultural landscape for both boy and girl worlds and its impact on their self-esteem, identity, and decision making.

Rosalind highlights why educators’ efforts to communicate with young people about social media (especially for students grades four through eight) can be so challenging, and provide educators with effective alternatives so students don’t shut down and disengage so easily. This recorded presentation will be valuable for any educator who is concerned about bullying prevention, cyberbullying and students’ use of social media.
