Cyber Bullying [PBS Radio Discussion]
One problem that faces children today takes place not in school, but in cyberspace. Writer Kathe Telingator has this tale of dealing with an anonymous bully.

Cyberbullying is defined as threats or other offensive behavior sent online to a victim or sent or posted online about the victim for others to see. I’d read the articles; I knew this. I got it. But 11-year-olds as perpetrators?

“It’s not really a surprise,” explained my friend, Dr. Joshua Kahn, a child and adolescent psychiatrist. “Kids are much more sophisticated about computers than adults realize. They are empowered in a way that they have never been before. Kids who might otherwise be perceived as quiet or isolated, or who are uncomfortable asserting themselves in public discover that the internet can be a tool to communicate anger, jealousy, and frustration. Kids struggling with issues of self-esteem can say what they want anonymously, and avoid personal contact or confrontation in the process. This secret form of communication usually carries no culpability and might unleash excessive and unhealthy anger. Their satisfaction is usually short-lived and unresolved.”

Cyberbullying Defined in H.R. 2163
Illustrating how important this threat has become, Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-Calif.) and Rep. Kenny Hulshof (R-Mo.) proposed a federal law that would criminalize acts of so-called cyberbullying. In this blog, two national security advisors propose to take it further so that on-line masquerading is also defined and considered. They would also like to see H.R. 2163 increase the penalities when a cyberbully uses a false identity or steals another person's identity when bullying a victim.

Text Unto Others... As You Would Have Them Text Unto You
Schools can teach basic principles of good citizenship to help shape students' behavior in the virtual world.
-
t's nothing anyone would have thought necessary to
do only a decade ago, but the concept of citizenship no
longer exists only within the realm of the physical world.
With K-12 students seeming to at all times have one foot
in the real world and one in the virtual, school districts
are starting to acknowledge a new collective responsibility:
to teach kids what it means to be a good digital citizen
and how to go about being one. The answer follows the
same rules entrenched in the prescription for being a
good citizen on the ground: Obey the law, have respect
for others, act civilly and sensibly.

Digital Natives »The Ballad of Zack McCune (Part III)
In April of last year, Zack McCune was sued by the RIAA. He ended up $3,000 lighter (he settled), but with a much richer understanding of the contemporary debate surrounding music, copyright law, and file sharing. Part I gives an intro to his story, while Part II explores the disconnect between young downloaders and the recording industry. Part III, presented here, concludes Zack’s misadventure and examines where it led him: to the Free Culture Movement, which advocates more flexible intellectual property law.

Students take online revenge on teachers
Students are taking a high-tech approach to revenge on teachers - assuming their identities in fake online profiles and putting doctored photographs of them on the internet. The modern trend - dubbed "worrying" this week by the secondary teachers' union - appears to have firmly taken hold in New Zealand this year. It is an extension of the problem of teenagers cyber-bullying their peers and follows the trend of fake profiles created for celebrities and politicians.
-
The issue is particularly worrying because of the potential damage to individuals' reputations - and offending content is difficult to remove.
-
NetSafe executive director Martin Cocker said the internet safety group heard almost weekly of students assuming a teacher's identity in an online profile.
"If the students want to mock a teacher in front of the other students, then the logical place to do it is where all the other students are when they're online, which is the social networking sites," he said.
