Course Detailed Description

The question What is cyberbullying and how can we stop it? became the most important to answer.

Bullying face-to-face and cyberbullying can often happen alongside each other. The difference is cyberbullying leaves a digital footprint. Both threaten students’ physical and emotional safety and can impact their academic and social success at school.

Therefore, schools must create an environment where bullying and cyberbullying are not acceptable. Such a safer school environment includes parents and the community as partners in bullying prevention and managing Bullying Prevention School Plan.

Digital technologies have profoundly changed childhood and adolescence. Internet, smartphones, tablets, digital games, messaging apps and social media platforms, have become integral to the lives of youth. The digital age brings a diverse range of risks and harms. That’s all changed and transformed students’ education and learning because cyberbullying is a situation that can be encountered at any time, wherever is the internet.

Safer Internet Day initiatives have become a landmark event, all over the world, which aims are raising awareness of emerging online issues and current concerns. The activities promote safer and more responsible use of online technology by children, young people and students. Such activities can help to focus on the main problems of bullying and cyberbullying.

Bullying and cyberbullying are preventable. There are many factors that may increase or decrease the risk of experiencing bullying. Because of that we must understand and address the factors that put students at risk for or protect them from violence. Teachers’ competencies and skills in that area are very important to promote a healthy environment, a caring school climate and a safe school environment.
