Is It Cyberbullying?

What is cyberbullying and what can you do to stop it?

This lesson meets standards for Common Core ELA, CASEL, AASL and ISTE.

Let's face it: Some online spaces can be full of negative, rude, or downright mean behavior. But what counts as cyberbullying? Help your students learn what is -- and what isn't -- cyberbullying, and give them the tools they'll need to combat the problem.

Students will be able to:

Recognize similarities and differences between in-person bullying, cyberbullying, and being mean.
Empathize with the targets of cyberbullying.
Identify strategies for dealing with cyberbullying and ways they can be an upstander for those being bullied.
