As the media frenzy continues around bullying, I don’t want to be viewed as jumping on the bandwagon. However, despite the media circus, sadly we are losing children who feel their lives are too difficult to continue, it is important that people in every aspect of school organizations look to how they can assist in making schools safer. From an IT standpoint, we need to ensure that we are putting the appropriate safeguards in place to limit bullying and harassment in all of its forms. Does the district filter e-mail and websites that contain hate speech or assist bullies in accessing victims? Do you block student access to Facebook, etc.? Some students prefer not to have access in schools. Edmodo and similar programs provide the same functionality with the ability to provide staff controls on content.
