Cyberbullying

I think that Ms.Vans presentation was very eye opening.
It makes you aware of what really goes on and the consequences for what you do and how it hurts people. It would be a good idea to talk to the elementary school students about this and show them how things can escalate so easily.
- Make a powerpoint that is easier to follow and not so wordy for the littler kids, but also including the videos (maybe telling them that there is no death involved)
-Cyberbullying is always occuring and happening even if you like it or not and to make everyone aware of this would be a good idea
-Even to the high school students its still happening and we need to make students aware of what can happen and maybe show worse scenarios
-Since our class is very technology based we would be able to make a very good final product using Ms.Vans stuff and then morphing into something bigger that can "wow" everyone.

I really liked her presentation and now will be aware of things that I wasnt aware of before. Like how being in a chat room you can get tracked down so easily. It really opens your eyes of the information that you are posting online and howpeople can pretend to be people that they arent. I was aware of this before but didnt think to much of it. BUt this shows how serious it can get very easily and we need to make sure everyone of all ages knows this so that it can be prevented!!
