Medienkompetenz entwickeln: Cybermobbing

Actively protect your students against online bullying!

The leisure behavior of young people has changed significantly in recent years. Both girls and boys often surf the internet for long periods, using social networks, mobile phones, tablets, and gaming consoles. While there are many advantages to the extensive use of new digital media, it also poses dangers: the ability to remain anonymous online lowers the threshold for insults, abuse, or threats. This phenomenon, known as cyberbullying, is increasingly putting young people in difficult situations. With the help of this book, you can teach your students responsible use of new media and address the issue of cyberbullying. It provides foundational knowledge on data and personal protection, as well as concrete action guidelines, for instance, in cases where students film violence against classmates and post it online. The worksheets encourage students to engage in self-reflection and illustrate, through everyday examples, the potential consequences of their behavior!.
