BOOK OF THE MONTH: MAY! CYBERBULLYING: BULLYING IN THE DIGITAL AGE

Hi Spartans!

This month I'm highlighting Digital Citizenship. Digital citizenship is the norms of appropriate, responsible technology use.  Too often we are seeing students as well as adults misusing and abusing technology but not sure what to do. The issue is more than what the users do not know but what is considered appropriate technology usage.

I thought it would be appropriate to choose a book on cyberbullying as it partners well with digital citizenship."This indispensable book shows us the reality of young people's digital lives and presents a wide range of specific, practical, and research-based interventions to build online safety, reduce harm, and help youth develop positive digital citizenship..." (Stan Davis, author of Schools Where Everyone Belongs and Empowering Bystanders in Bullying Prevention).

All the Light We Cannot See

Hi Spartans,

I've finished the above novel. It was intriguing and a little sad. Overall, I was a bit disappointed, but I still recommend it if you like novels set during WWII, and you are interested in how young people experience war. I would also like to add, that the writing is beautiful. There are some lines I would happily frame and display in my home.
