4. Cyberbullying-Jot Thoughts
Please use the post-its at your table to participate in the
Kagan© structure titled Jot Thoughts. You will jot down
an idea of how to prevent and react to cyberbullying on
each post it. The goal of the activity is to fill up the table.
We will then share our favorite ideas with our groups
when the timer goes off. This will help to activate prior
knowledge and hopefully you will make some
connections to the instruction of cyberbullying
prevention and reaction.

5. Cyberbullying-Prevention

• Encourage students to talk to you about any
problems they are having with others.

it’s wrong.

10. Online Safety-Quiz Quiz Trade
Use the Kagan© Quiz Quiz Trade structure to practice
what you have learned today. You must take a card and
stand up, hand up, pair up with someone that is not at
your table. Then one partner is going to ask a question
and the other is going to respond, if they get it correct
praise them, if they get it incorrect coach them. The
partners then switch roles, trade cards, and find a new
partner.
