Animation on Cyber Bullying

A short animation that I put together on Cyberbullying.  I found this website off a year 6 class blog in Auckland.  Some of the children in the class had put together an animation from what they had been learning about blood.  It's quite cheezy, but a fun tool for kids to use. :-)

The Journey So Far..

Below is a glimpse of the statistics that we are discovering when surveying children, young people, and parents in New Zealand in relation to Cyber Bullying.

According to a survey conducted online and in a high school in Auckland 97% of young people and parents think cyber bullying is an issue for young people in New Zealand.

Approximately 1 in every 6 young people have been a victim of cyber bullying.

And 45% (almost half of the young people surveyed!) say they have done something that may have been considered to be cyber bullying.

A Cyber Bullying Story -- Ryan Halligan age 13

This is really moving.  quite intense, but worth a look. The perspective of a parent and friend of a 13 year old boy who was cyber bullied.  Looking at the faces in the crowd reminds me how young some of these kids are that are having to deal with this kind of rubbish.

We need your help!

In order to make the most of our investigation, we need your help, and your opinions on cyber bullying :)
We've written up 2 surveys, one for children and young people, and the other is for parents. Both of the surveys only take a few minutes (I promise!), and it would be awesome to have your thoughts and opinions. Everything is anonymous.

Survey for children and teens (up to 17)
Survey for parents

Project Based Learning: Explained.

Introducing...

Over the next few weeks we will be investigating the problem of Cyber Bullying, and coming up with strategies to combat this issues with the children and young people in New Zealand. This will include putting together a unit of work which incorporates Social Science and Technology especially and draws together other subject areas such as English and Physical Education.

The aim is to experience what it is like to be involved in a collaborate problem based learning experience and using the knowledge gained from this experience, we will put together our unit of lessons which could be used to help children and young people in New Zealand explore this same issue.
