  1. Cyberbullying Case Studies Joan Lange Katie Derrick

  2. What is Cyberbullying? • The high tech way for kids to pick on each other • Cruel or demeaning notes are sent from one child to another through e-mail, text messaging or chat rooms/social networking sites • Cyberthreats - cyberbullying that contain messages of possible violence against someone else or themselves (http://cyberbully.org/)

  3. Target Group & Timeframe • High school Juniors (ages 16-17) • Approximately 74 studentsin a required Theology class (Morality) • 4 classes • Breakdown of unit: • 1st 50 min. class - students read case study, identify the primary problem, formulate their question for research and brainstorm 3 keywords to search in TEL • 2nd 50 min class – librarian presents TEL (15 min.) and students conduct search for 2 articles at computers (35 min).

  4. Teaching Strategies • Direct teacher instruction & questioning • Direct librarian instruction & questioning • Student-directed research on computers • Guided reading • Small group discussions

  5. Resources Used • Computers with Internet access to TEL- 30 • Information about search strategies gained from initial library instruction • TEL Powerpoint presentation • Keyword brainstorming handout • Student search worksheet • Background on topic from librarian & classroom teacher • Copy of “Ethical Decision-Making Model” • Case Study handout • Support Group list • Computer Projector/laptop with internet connection

  6. Tennessee Electronic Library (TEL)Expanded Academic Database

  7. How to find and Access TEL • Go to JPII website • Select “database library” from website menu • Select “Tennessee Electronic Library” from list • When Infotrac screen comes up, password is elvis

  8. Now is it like Google? • Uncheck the “Select All” box at the top of the screen • Check the select box next to Expanded Academic Index ASAP

  9. Yes, it’s similar to Google. You are using keyword searching in both (right now)… • But these results are really overwhelming! • 2,947 magazine results • 512 academic journal results

  10. Are you going to look through 3,000+ records? • Click on “advanced search” at the top of the screen • Try an AND search to narrow results

  11. Now we’ve only got 50 instead of 2900+ magazines! But… some are brief or do not contain the full text of the article

  12. But this too can be overcome… • Click on the “Expand/Limit” link above the result number • Choose only documents with FULL TEXT • Click “GO”

  13. How can you tell if these REALLY match with what you are looking for and not a related topic (like sexual predators or filtering)? We can narrow it down more by going back to the Advanced Search screen - Add another AND keyword search term - Search “bullies”

  14. Use this article to create new search terms…

  15. Armed with new terms you can go back to your advanced search and try other techniques… • Wildcard searching – searches different word forms • Cyberbull* will search cyberbully, cyberbullying, cyberbullies, etc.

  16. But no matter how brilliant you think your search is, don’t forget to evaluate your results for RELEVANCY!!!

  17. Evaluation & Assessment • Informal: • Circulate among students as they brainstorm and perform TEL search • Check for Understanding (questioning technique) as students evaluate and adapt search strategy to locate articles to fit their need • Formal: • Final assessment will be student generated Powerpoint Presentation which incorporates their research of the primary problem into their ethical decision-making model.

  18. Follow-up Activities • Invite guest speaker from “You Have the Power” to speak to the class • Discussion of support groups for Internet Safety and to counter Cyberbullying • Lesson on MLA citation of sources • Noodletools
