Cyberbullying
The Department of Education here in Virginia recently released a new brief on cyberbullying. It’s intended more for school divisions rather than the general public, but it does include a lot of references that might be of interest to parents, teachers, or the general public.
Cyberbullying is a real problem, and involves the purposeful intimidation of others through electronic means. This can include posting to websites, blogs, instant messages, or through e-mail messages designed to intimidate others.
Goochland County Schools currently includes cyberbullying as one of several topics covered in our mandatory program of including Internet safety in our K-12 curriculum.
