I did a cyberbullying lesson with my 8th grade students. Before starting I had them open a blank Word document and told them throughout the hour to type any word that they thought associated with cyberbullying (they had to have a minimum of 20 words by the end of the hour). We then watched the following video which is a short rap about digital citizenship. https://www.commonsensemedia.org/video/educators/digital-citizenship. We went on several other websites and did some research and reading about cyberbullying and had several classroom discussions. By the end of the hour most of the students had well over 20 words on their page. We took those words and used Wordle to make a word collage.

You provided your students with a fun and informative way of learning about cyberbullying. Between watching the video, thinking of words on their own, and creating Word Cloud they gained understanding of the negative impact of cyberbullying. Your blog is very eye-catching with the changing Word Clouds. Excellent work!
