What is Cyberbullying?
Using technology to repeatedly hurt, embarrass or target another person Sharing private or embarrassing content Sending or posting mean or threatening messages Spreading rumours or excluding someone online Often repeated behaviour, but even one action can cause serious harm
Video Discussion
Watch: Rewrite Your Story – Zach's story What type of cyberbullying is happening? How does the fake profile make it worse? What could an observer do to reduce harm? At what point should an adult step in?
Online Communication - What's Different
The eSafety Commissioner says: 'cyberbullying is when someone uses the internet to be mean to a person so they feel bad or upset.' We communicate online every day What you do online can affect other people
Why Online Behaviour Escalates
Online behaviour spreads faster than real life Large audiences - one post reaches hundreds quickly Instant sharing removes thinking time Hard to take back - screenshots make content permanent
Think About Your Online Behaviour
What do you share? Who can see it? How quickly do you respond? Do you usually think before posting or react quickly?
Scenario Analysis
Scenario: A student screenshots a private message and shares it in a group chat 'as a joke' Task: What happens next? How does it spread? When does it become harmful? At what point does this become a problem?
Escalation vs Prevention
{"left":"Escalation happens when people keep sharing\nNo one steps in to stop it\nReactions fuel the situation further","right":"Prevention happens when someone chooses not to share\nSomeone checks in privately with the target\nSomeone reports or stops the harmful behavior"}
Making Better Choices Online
STOP - Pause before you post or share CHECK - Think about impact and audience CHOOSE - Make decisions that reduce harm Remember: Every step is a decision Different decisions lead to different outcomes You are responsible for your online actions
