New Source for Information on Cyberbullying

Did you know that ebrary.com has a free collection of open sources on cyberbullying?  This site offers ebooks you can peruse on types of bullying, statistics, what you should do when bullying starts, and much more.  Just go to the ebrary site at http://site.ebrary.com/lib/cyberbullying/search.action?p00=cyberbullying&fromSearch=fromSearch&search=Search and put in a search term at the top of the page.  Titles such as Stop Cyberbullying Before it Starts, Data Memo: Cyberbullying and Online Teens, Serial No. 111-76: Cyberbullying and Other Online Safety Issues for Children and more are available. 
So, next time you want to discuss the topic of bullying or cyberbullying, create a lesson plan on it or have your students conduct research on the topic, ebrary is a safe site to access, read a Table of Contents and click to exactly the aspect of the subject you want.  Try it out! 

These resources also complement the unit plan on bullying that appears in Chapter 3 of my book Using Web 2.0 and Social Networking Tools in the K-12 Classroom.
