Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying
WHAT IS CYBERBULLYING?
This
is the use of digital technology (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) to
offend, humiliate, threaten, harass, or abuse somebody.
WHAT IS AN EXAMPLE OF
CYBERBULLYING?
Sending or receiving
nasty messages online, or on the phone.
Embarrassing photos
being uploaded online without your permission.
Rumours and lies being
spread about you on the internet.
Types of cyberbullying
There are many ways of bullying someone online and for some it can
take shape in more ways than one. Some of the types of cyber bullying are:
Harassment - This is the act of sending offensive, rude, and insulting
messages and being abusive. Nasty or humiliating comments on posts, photos and
in chat rooms. Being explicitly offensive on gaming sites.
Denigration – This is when someone may send information about
another person that is fake, damaging and untrue. Sharing photos of someone for
the purpose to ridicule, spreading fake rumours and gossip. This can be on any
site online or on apps. We even hear about people altering photos of others and
posting in online for the purpose of bullying.
Flaming – This is when someone is purposely using really extreme and
offensive language and getting into online arguments and fights. They do this
to cause reactions and enjoy the fact it causes someone to get distressed.
Impersonation – This is when someone will hack into someone’s email or
social networking account and use the person's online identity to send or post
vicious or embarrassing material to/about others. The making up of fake
profiles on social network sites, apps and online are common place and it can
be really difficult to get them closed down.
Outing and Trickery – This is when someone may share personal
information about another or trick someone into revealing secrets and forward
it to others. They may also do this with private images and videos too.
Cyber Stalking – This is the act of repeatedly sending messages
that include threats of harm, harassment, intimidating messages, or engaging in
other online activities that make a person afraid for his or her safety. The
actions may be illegal too depending on what they are doing.
Exclusion – This is when others intentionally leave
someone out of a group such as group messages, online apps, gaming sites and
other online engagement. This is also a form of social bullying and a very
common.
Affects of cyberbullying
Cyber bullying affects people from any age or walk of life,
including children, teens and adults who all feel very distressed and alone
when being bullied online. Cyber
bullying can make you feel totally overwhelmed which can result in many feeling
embarrassed that they are going through such a devastating time, and not
knowing what support is available to them.
Many children feel unable to confide in an adult because they feel
ashamed and wonder whether they will be judged, told to ignore it or close
their account which they might not want to do
Internet safety tips:
- Never
give out your real name
- Never
tell anyone where you go to school
- Only
meet someone from a chatroom in a public place with one of your parents or
another adult. If they are genuinely who they say they are they will be
happy to do this
- Never
give out your address or telephone number
- Never
agree to meet anyone from a chatroom on your own
- Tell
an adult if someone makes inappropriate suggestions to you or makes you
feel uncomfortable online

digital citizenship
A digital citizenship
refers to a person who utilizes the technology appropriately or the person who
uses the internet effectively.
The nine elements of
digital citizenship
According to Ribble
(2017), there are nine elements of digital citizenship which are:
Digital
access: digital access is where digital citizenship is
able to access technology. Though digital access concept challenges in the
non-digital society. The citizens in the non-digital society are not able to
get access to technologies which are available due to location, socioeconomic
status or the development in that particular society. Now with the change in
time the demand of getting access to technology grows rapidly and schools now
have computer labs. Moreover, now the in schools the ICT periods are designated
to teach students on using ICT for exploring and learning. The digital access
is more available in many remote places through phones etc…
Digital commerce:
with the help of digital, the citizens are now able to benefit more as much
economy is regulated online easily. Using digital for commercial has both
benefits and disadvantage. Online buying, using credit cards are easier but,
often people buying the item online meets with fake, plagiarism which are illegal.
Digital communication:
digital communication includes online communication medium which often called
as social media. The examples are Wechat, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Email,
Messenger and so on. With the introduction of these digital communications the
people are often lacking social interaction face to face. Though it has
affects, there are also many benefits from which the communication is made much
easier and effective.
Digital literacy:
it is about developing and enhancing the technology knowledge (Brownell, 2019).
It is about how to use various digital devices. The technology should be used
in order to enhance professional growth, personal, and for education. Should appropriately
use of search engines and various online logs for educational or personal
growth.
.
Digital etiquette:
it deals with etiquette when using digital. People often disturb other people
putting the sound on when playing games or using digitals in inappropriate way.
It is very important to have certain rules when using digital. A child or the
student should not be allowed to use phones during studying time and so on. The
digital should be used appropriately.
Digital law:
This is where enforcement occurs for illegal downloads, plagiarizing, hacking,
creating viruses, sending spams, identity theft, cyber bullying, and so forth.
Digital rights and
responsibilities: This is the set of rights digital
citizens have such as privacy, speech, and so forth.
Digital health:
Digital citizens must be aware of the physical stress placed on their bodies by
internet usage. They must be aware to not become overly dependent on the
internet causing eye strain, headaches, stress problems, and so on.
Digital security:
This simply means that citizens must take measures to be safe by practicing
using difficult passwords, virus protection, backing up data, and so on.

why use ICT in the classroom?
The students learn through three types of learning style which are visual, auditory, and
kinesthetic. The students learn better through visual as they get to see the abstract ideas in
concrete and it is better than explaining. Through pictures, diagrams, and graphs the students can
understand the ideas easily. Then auditory students learn by verbal lecture and detail explanation
than learning from written text. The students who are kinesthetic they learn by doing and
exploring the things by themselves. They need more activities than a lecture.
I would like to prefer visual as primary children will not be able to sit still listening to the lecture
more than a minute. If taught through visual the students will take interest in the learning as they
can see the pictures and diagrams. Moreover, the teacher can make abstract ideas into the concrete
making things easier. Sometimes the concepts are more expressed and explained in a picture than
a written explanation which students find it easy. It can also motivate the students learning as they understand the concept they will take an interest in their learning.
