We've all faced thorny situations where what we say or do could potentially harm or hurt someone. Being honest is important, but is there such a thing as being too honest? Sometimes, innocent -- but insensitive -- comments can easily escalate to digital drama or even cyberbullying. Help students recognize and navigate these types of situations that happen online.
Students will be able to:
-
Identify examples of online behaviors that may hurt, embarrass, or offend others.
-
Analyze thorny situations online and ways to respond to counter the harm they can cause.
-
Create a public service announcement script to raise awareness about navigating thorny situations.
