FREE Special Distance Learning Program "Kids and Cyberbullying: A Discussion for Students, Teachers and the Community"


Cyberbullying continues to be a means of harassment using online tools.  The cyberbully may post embarrassing images, information or gossip about another individual on various social networking sites as well as email, instant messaging, and message boards or forums. As with any type of bullying, the activity is aimed at undermining the confidence of the victim and creating suffering for reasons that are usually not apparent to anyone but the bully.

Join us for an interactive presentation with community experts on cyberbullying and how to educate yourself, your students and the community about this increasing social networking problem.  Hosted by United States Attorney Stephen Dettelbach, the program is FREE to all schools and is sponsored by the US Attorney for Northeast Ohio & the Anti-Defamation League with funds provided by the Microsoft Corporation.
