One student once came to me and said, “Ms. Li, you know John Smith will post my picture on the facebook and I am afraid that he will make nasty comments on me.” It made me think that raising awareness on Cyber Bullying is critical in order to create a friendly and peaceful environment at school. That’s why I pick the lesson, which is beneficial for the students to learn that cyber bulling hurts.
