Curriculum for Digital Citizenship

Covering Cyber Bullying,

Haters, and Trolls

Names: Kate Kosner and Jacob Lepper

Overview of Cyber bullying, Haters, and Trolls

- Cyberbullying is the use of digital communication to make a person angry, sad or
scared. Usually again and again. A hater is a person who cant simply be happy for
another persons success. A troll who is one who posts a deliberately provocative
message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum
disruption and argument.

- https://www.stopbullying.gov/cyberbullying/what-is-it/
- http://www.ncpc.org/topics/cyberbullying
- This is important for teachers to educate their students on because it happens
everyday and is harder to catch than in person bullying. It is harder to catch because
teachers arent monitoring their students on the internet or their own private social
media. When teachers teach about this, I would recommend them showing the cyber
bullying movie or assigning it as homework. The movie is called Cyberbully and is a
great resource that will help students to understand why it is so horrible to cyber bully.
Here is the link to it http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1930315/. Along with this, students
should be educated on the statistics of cyberbullying, how it happens, when it happens,
why it happens, how to prevent it, and how to step in if it is happening to them or a
friend. Teachers will also want to educate students on Haters and Trolls. There is a great
lesson plan on BrainPop that can be used. Here are links to it.

K-2 Lessons

First Objective:

Learning Objective: The students will be able to identify behaviors that

constitute as cyberbullying, hating, and trolls [specific, measurable!]
Resource 1:
Bullying- BrainPOP
https://jr.brainpop.com/health/relationships/bullying/
This is a BrainPOP made for kindergarteners to educate
them on bullying. It shows bullying on the playground, defines bullying,
says when it happens, and what can be considered bullying. It is also
great because it talks about Cyberbullying. It also shows how to be an
upstander, and what to do if you yourself is being bullied.
I would show this movie to my K-2nd graders. It is only 5
minutes long so they will be able to keep focused. After they have
watched the video I will hold a discussion with them asking what
bullying is, what bullying consists of, and how to fix it if you or
someone else is being bullied.
Resource 2:
National Bullying Prevention center
http://www.pacer.org/bullying/classroom/elementary/ele-
lesson-plan.asp
This walks students through the characteristics that are
constituted as bullying. Ideally this will help prevent students from
doing mean behavior that hinders the performance of other students.
Activities in this resource have students drawing and writing behaviors
that they think are bullying and then having a class discussion about
those behaviors.
I would use this in a second grade classroom because
they need to be able to write and also they need to understand
somewhat complex ideas.
Resource 3:
PDF of Health Problem Series: Bullying
http://classroom.kidshealth.org/prekto2/problems/emotion
s/bullying.pdf
 This is a long PDF describing how bullying happens. It will
help the students be able to identify the behaviors that cause bullying.
As the teacher, I would read over this PDF and pick the
different activities that I would want to teach to my students. There are
many different lesson plans already on this PDF. I would pick the best
one applied to my lesson that day.
Resource 4:
McGruff- Anti-Bullying Film
http://classroom.kidshealth.org/prekto2/problems/emotion
s/bullying.pdf
This is a video that shows what bullying is, how to be an
upstander, how to identify the behavior that constitute bullying, and
how to fix the problem.
I would show this movie to my K-2nd graders. It is only 5
minutes long so they will be able to keep focused. After they have
watched the video I will hold a discussion with them asking what
bullying is, what bullying consists of, and how to fix it if you or
someone else is being bullied.

Second Objective:

Learning Objective: The students will be able to identify the correct

people to tell when a crisis arrives
Resource 1:
Stop Bullying
https://www.stopbullying.gov/kids/
This is a website geared towards younger students by
using videos and games to engage them. The facts page covers the
basics about bullying, what can you do gives specific directions for
helping people who are being bullied, the videos link the knowledge to
scenarios and the games challenge students to think about what they
would do.
I would have this assigned so that students would
complete the activities during a computer lab time and then use other
resources to help younger students understand the problems with
bullying.
Resource 2:
How to Identify a Trusted Person
http://www.seattleschools.org/UserFiles/Servers/Server_54
3/File/District/Departments/Health%20&%20Safety/Bully%20Prevention
%20&%20Resources/cbms_9_sa1.pdf
 This is a basic worksheet that has students fill out the
qualities that they identify as a person that is trustworthy. It then goes
into people who have those qualities who are in that persons life.
This would be an introductory activity so that students
might be able to have a discussion about the qualities they think are
important. The next discussion will be about how to talk to those
people about the problems they are having.
Resource 3:
Enlisting Parents Help
Link
This page has students identify important things that they
have learned in their classroom to help educate their parents on the
topic of cyberbullying. This allows uses class discussion to identify
points that may not have been as important, but to still include them
for parents to know about.
This would be used to close a lesson and to review the
knowledge that students have learned.
Resource 4:
Who Supports You
Link
This video discusses the consequences of using drugs and
alcohol plus the influence of people around them. This is an intense
video and is advised for older kids,however this could be used to give
students the want to have a closer relationship with their parents and
people around them. Hopefully this will help them to identify that their
parents are there to help them in time of need.
I would use it for older kids because the video is intense in
the sense of life experiences. I would use it specifically after a lesson
about cyberbullying specifically and then show them the video to help
spark the want to talk to their parents about their problems.

Third Objective:

Learning Objective: The students will be able to identify and explain

what a toxic post is and how that hinders a community of learners.
April Fools
https://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/04/01/april-fools/
This resource walks through the potential harshness of
practical jokes and the harm that could come from a joke. This uses
the students trust with the teacher to create a situation where the
students feel betrayed and then the teacher discusses that situation
but with other intentions outside of the classroom.
 I would use it to give students an opportunity to observe
that some jokes may be harmful. This is aimed at older age groups
because they need to understand the consequences with actions
around jokes and younger children might not be able to grasp this
concept.
Digital Compass
Link
This is an online platform that has students go through
different situations that cyberbullying occurs. This challenges students
to recognize bad behavior and also to change that behavior so that it
no longer is bullying. This platform does not just cover mean words
towards people such as youre bad at xyz but situations that bullying
might occur.
I would use this as an introductory tool to help gage
where students fall with understanding toxic relationships and what
goes into a relationship.
Resource 3:
Ted Talk: Cyberbullying
Link
This link goes through stories of children who have
received hurtful comments and thus ended their lives. The presenter
uses these situations to connect with the crowd and the experiences
they share with the stories presented. She then goes into strategies to
help provide supports to students who have experienced bullying
I would use this as an introductory video to create
discussion and to provide information in a different manner than just
lecture based.

Resource 4:
Gossip and Rumors: Did you Hear?
Link
This is an online platform through PBS kids that describes
and illustrates the consequences of gossip. The good part of this
lesson comes from the personal links that students may draw to each
situation and also the consequences of potential actions.
I would use this in conjunction of the April Fools lesson by
challenging students to think about rumors, false hope and then
discussing the feelings/challenges the class had during the activities.
3-5 Lessons

What language/behaviors constitute as cyber bullying

Explain how Catfishing happens, never meet up with people you have met on the internet, how to catch a predator

Reiterate what happens with rumors and false information.

First Objective:

Learning Objective: The students will be able to identify cyberbullying

Resource 1:
Kids| Stopbullying.gov
https://www.stopbullying.gov/kids/
This is a website geared towards younger students which
is why we picked it for our 3rd through 5th graders. There is some
reading which is at their level, also some videos, facts, games, and
what to do if someone is being bullied. This is an awesome site
because it is teaching students to be upstanders and not bystanders!
I would use this by going through the different tabs with
my students so they can learn what bullying is, the causes, who is at
risk, and how to prevent it! I would have a worksheet for them to fill
out as we discussed this. Then after we filled out the worksheet I would
give the students 20 minutes to play the games on the website. I think
this is a very beneficial, educational, and fun way for students to
become educated on bullying!
Resource 2
Bullying Awareness
http://www.csus.edu/cbm/bullying%20awareness
%20lesson%20plan%204_6.pdf
Multiple different lessons combined into one resource and
is useable for k-6. The lesson focuses on identifying bullying behavior
rather than just cyberbullying.
This is a great resource for older age groups because they
are able to present more complex ideas and apply them further than
just the classroom. For instance, at home, school, on the bus and other
places like that.
 Resource 3:
Read Write Think
Link
This is a classroom discussion and the use of literature to
have students think about how students should talk to professionals
and then also to adult figures.
I would use this in a fourth grade classroom to help
analyze text and to help students to understand that talking to adults
is important. By using the resources within, this will help students to
relate to characters in a story.
Resource 4:
How Cyberbullying affects the Bully
Link
This is a student resource to give facts about the affects
to the bully rather than the one being bullied. This resource goes
through the statistics and reasoning for a person to bully another
person. Beware, this may put pressure onto students who have bullied
and may cause them to feel guilt. Try to be open minded and assist
students who feel guilty.
I would use this resource to provide clear facts about how
bullying is described and focusing on the person doing the action
rather than one who is receiving it. This would be an activity for after
bullying occurs and to help pinpoint areas where student need more
support.

Second Objective:

Learning Objective: The students will be able to identify people

demonstrating behaviors that are similar to catfishing and meeting online
people in person.
Resource 1:
Warning Signs of a Catfish Online
Link
This is an infographic describing the characteristics of
what a catfish online does. It walks through the statistics of how many
people/profiles are fake and what some of their intentions are. This
resource also talks about real situations that happened rather than
conceptualization.
I would use this resource to have students read through
before having a lesson on catfish or watching the movie. This will
educate students and hopefully spark discussion within the classroom.
Resource 2:
 Carla Jenkins
Link
This is a blog post that uses the movie Catfish to explain
the relationship behind the instances of catfish. This also goes further
into explaining the movies and persons experience with catfishing.
After watching the movie, students would read this blog
to continue their thoughts about the topic.
Resource 3:
Catfishing Lessons, Pinterest
Link
This is a conglomeration of different resources that give
statistics about cat fishing and the behaviors that are exhibited online.
Since this is pinterest, the resources are generally free to use and also
provide many different resources so that the teacher might
accommodate their classroom better than just a single lesson.
I would use the resources provided to create a personal
lesson plan that my class would relate to and then have discussions
about the topics I covered.
Resource 4:
Catfish
Link
Discussion Guide
The discussion guide is printable for teachers to use when
viewing the movie and then also to give more information after the
movie is complete. Depending on the classroom and the maturity of
the room, watch the movie to create an opportunity to help protect the
students from future problems.
I would use the discussion guide to have students read
about the facts following the movie and to fill out the discussion guide
during the movie so as to make sure students watch rather than
sleeping or doing other activities.

Third Objective:

Learning Objective: The students will be able to identify how gossip

may affect a persons reputation and cause problems.
Resource 1:
Gossip and Rumors: Did you Hear?
Link
This is an online platform through PBS kids that describes
and illustrates the consequences of gossip. The good part of this
lesson comes from the personal links that students may draw to each
situation and also the consequences of potential actions.
 I would use this in conjunction of the April Fools lesson by
challenging students to think about rumors, false hope and then
discussing the feelings/challenges the class had during the activities.
These resources are for teachers and students who have not
experienced the program yet.
Resource 2:
https://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/04/01/april-fools/
This resource walks through the potential harshness of
practical jokes and the harm that could come from a joke. This uses
the students trust with the teacher to create a situation where the
students feel betrayed and then the teacher discusses that situation
but with other intentions outside of the classroom.
I would use it to give students an opportunity to observe
that some jokes may be harmful. This is aimed at older age groups
because they need to understand the consequences with actions
around jokes and younger children might not be able to grasp this
concept.
Resource 3:
Rumors and Glitter
Link
This is a hands on activity to demonstrate the causation
of what happens when a rumor begins to spread. The glitter
symbolizes how rumors spread whether you want them to or not and
also how they never truly go away.
I would use this in a third grade classroom since the book
is aimed towards a younger audience. This will also demonstrate the
effects that happen when a person participates in spreading a rumor.
Resource 4:
She said what about me?
Link
This was created by a counselor following a books
experience with bullying and rumors. This utilizes the classes
participation with activities that relate to how things change; telephone
and toothpaste. The first game is how things might have an original
meaning but then change slightly as each person explains it. The
toothpaste activity uses the students ability to put things back into a
place that isnt able to.
I would use this in a fifth grade classroom since the
activities can have a better discussion and then I would move towards
the objective of how things on the internet often can be skewed in a
way that often isnt the way it was intended.
6-8 Lessons

Show students different posts and comments on the internet and ask them how they would change the post to not be bullying

Reiterate never to meet up with people on internet, start getting into bystanders and how to interfer as a bystander

Present different consequences to students and ask them to identify how to prevent these from happening

First Objective:

Learning Objective: The students will be able to identify posts that are
potential for cyberbullying and how to change the language to eliminate the
bullying aspect.
Resource 1:
April Fools
https://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/04/01/april-fools/
This resource walks through the potential harshness of
practical jokes and the harm that could come from a joke. This uses
the students trust with the teacher to create a situation where the
students feel betrayed and then the teacher discusses that situation
but with other intentions outside of the classroom.
I would use it to give students an opportunity to observe
that some jokes may be harmful. This is aimed at older age groups
because they need to understand the consequences with actions
around jokes and younger children might not be able to grasp this
concept.
Resource 2:
Stand up be in. CTRL!
Link
This is a website that has two sections; teacher and
student. The teacher section focuses on addressing misconceptions
with cyberbullying. Unlike april fools, this website has students create a
positive environment without the focus on a negative relationship.
I would have students watch the video outside of the
classroom and discuss in the classroom about what they observed.
Students would then discuss how they would create their own personal
network of positive relationships.
 Resource 3:
Digital Compass
Link
This is an online platform that has students go through
different situations that cyberbullying occurs. This challenges students
to recognize bad behavior and also to change that behavior so that it
no longer is bullying. This platform does not just cover mean words
towards people such as youre bad at xyz but situations that bullying
might occur.
I would use this as an introductory tool to help gage
where students fall with identifying cyberbullying and to allow for in
class discussions.
Resource 4:
Ted Talk: Cyberbullying
Link
This link goes through stories of children who have
received hurtful comments and thus ended their lives. The presenter
uses these situations to connect with the crowd and the experiences
they share with the stories presented. She then goes into strategies to
help provide supports to students who have experienced bullying
I would use this as an introductory video to create
discussion and to provide information in a different manner than just
lecture based.

Second Objective:

Learning Objective: The students will be able to explain the

consequences of meeting unfamiliar people in person after talking with them
online.
Resource 1:
Internet Safety for Kids: Staying Safe from Online
Predators
Link
This is a website designed to educate teachers on how to
approach the topic of online predators with their students. After the
teachers read this they will know how to have a discussion with their
students and educate them on protection, prevention, and the
consequences of meeting a person that they have only talked to
online.
I would use it by learning the information and then
creating a presentation to teach my students the information they
learned. Then I would have them get into groups and discuss the three
 main points I would like for them to take away; how to protect
themselves from online predators, how to protect themselves, and the
consequences of meeting up with someone they have met online. After
this, we would discuss as a group the main points they came up with to
ensure they understand.
Resource 2:
Catfish MTV Episode
Link
This is one of the episodes from the MTV movie Catfish.
This episode is documenting a girl Yasmine. She sent money to an
online boyfriend which she had never met. This is great because it is
documenting real life people and a young girl near the age of the
students who will be watching it. It is a good source because students
will be able to directly see the consequences of talking to people online
who they have never met.
I would show this to my students and give them a
worksheet to fill out as they watch. After we would discuss ways that
Yasmine could have avoided the consequences she faced from talking
to a stranger online and then dating them.
Resource 3:
Are you sure you know who youre talking to online?
Link
This is a short clip that shows a girl talking to someone
online and she begins to trust him a lot. She then takes off her clothes
for him and he takes screenshots of her and threatens to post them
places. The students would learn consequences of talking to people
they do not know online.
I would use this in a lesson with my students as an
example of the consequences they can possibly face by talking to
predators online.
Resource 4:
Survivor Diaries
Link
This is another short clip that shows consequences of
talking to strangers online. It is two kids who have been victimized by
people online. It also shows the consequences they faced and how
they felt after everything had happened.
I would show this to my students during their lesson along
with the video above. After we would have a discussion about the
video and how the people in the videos could have prevented what
happened to them.
Third Objective:

Learning Objective: The students will be able to identify safe internet

practices and use them in their day to day lives.
Resource 1:
Internet Safety
Link
This is a lesson plan designed for grades 6-8 on how to
practice safe internet use. It gives a content outline, suggested
learning activities, and a quiz to give the students. There are also
answers to the quiz. They also have given worksheet attachments.
I would follow the lesson plan with my students. I would
do it over the course of a couple days, creating a presentation about
the information, having my students work in groups discussing the
information, and then giving them a quiz on the information they will
need to learn for their quiz. This is perfect because it is a
predetermined lesson plan that does not require a lot of extra work.
Resource 2:
Teaching Materials
Link
This website allows teachers to type in the age group they
teach, the subject of cyber safety they are going over, and then the
site will find materials they can use to teach their students. I typed in
Middle School (ages 11-13) and basic internet safety and it gave me
some activity cards to use (flash cards,) and some safety pledges for
students to use.
I would use this in my class when I am coming up with
lesson plans. I would use some of their resources with my students so
they were able to learn better. It would be beneficial to them because
it would help them learn identify and use safe internet practices in
their daily lives.
Resource 3:
Lights, Camera, Internet Safety
Link
NetSmartz offers two video series for middle and high
school students. NSTeens introduces middle school students to a cast
of characters who help each other deal with online drama. Real-Life
Stories videos help older teens take a closer look at the choices their
peers make online and the possible consequences. All videos are
accompanied by a lesson plan to help students think critically about
the videos issues and their own online actions.
I would show my students the videos and then discuss
them with my students. We would talk about the safe internet
 practices shown in the videos they watched and talk about how to
implement them into their daily lives.
Resource 4:
Activity Cards
Link
There are different flash cards shown for students on
different types of cyberbullying and social media information. For
example, there are cards on Cyberbullying, cyber friendships, what you
cant take back from the internet, how to post privately, and many
more.
I would look over the flashcards and then develop a quiz
for my students to take over the flashcards. They would be able to look
at them and then it would be nice because the resource would already
be there. I would not have to create the flashcards and neither would
my students.

9-12 Lessons
Present students with different scenarios of cyberbullying and non cyberbullying. Ask if it is appropriate or not. Why or why not?
Have them discuss with groups then as a class

Present students with different templates of posts they are going to make. Have them create the post to ensure they know how to
properly communicate without bullying

Present different consequences such as sex offenders, potential suspensions and ask students how to prevent this from happening
to them

First Objective:

Learning Objective: The students will be able to identify different

situations that are cyberbullying and also ones that are not considered to be
cyberbullying.
Resource 1:
Digital Compass
Link
This is an online platform that has students go through
different situations that cyberbullying occurs. This challenges students
to recognize bad behavior and also to change that behavior so that it
 no longer is bullying. This platform does not just cover mean words
towards people such as youre bad at xyz but situations that bullying
might occur.
I would use this as an introductory tool to help gage
where students fall with identifying cyberbullying and to allow for in
class discussions.
Resource 2:
Students Take; Cyberbullying
Link
This resource utilizes the students knowledge about how
they set a tone for a community to create an environment of healthy or
toxic relationships . This focuses on how students should respond to a
bully and how to help the victim stand up to their offender.
I would use this resource in a freshman classroom so as to
help create a healthy environment for their high school career.
Hopefully this resource is a reiteration of what they have learned up
this point and not too much new information is introduced.
Resource 3:
Cyberbullying and Online Cruelty
Link
This resource is a three hour program designated to walk
a classroom through the different parts of cyber bullying. The first part
is asking the classroom about what they already know about
cyberbullying. The second follows up and builds students ability to
show empathy towards students who have been bullied and then
finally asking students how to combat the issue head on.
This would be a great resource for a freshman classroom
to build awareness and positive online activity.
Resource 4:
Bully Free
Link
This is an entire handbook with different lessons dealing
with bullying and online presence. This is a wonderful tool to use
throughout a high school career because the concept becomes more
involved and in depth. The beginning focuses on identifying behavior
that constitutes as bullying and the end builds towards creating
positive community.
As stated above, I think this resource can be used at any
time in high school and can be spread out over a couple years or just
one year.
Second Objective:

Learning Objective: The students will be able to create posts that

promote a healthy community and also identify posts that hinder the
advancement of a healthy community.
Resource 1:
10 Things You Should Never Post On Social Media
Networks
Link
This post describes 10 things students should never post
on social media. It is increasing the likelihood that they will post
appropriate things on the internet. It is also showing how to protect
themselves on the internet which also increases a healthy internet
community. It is more focused on how to be safe on the internet rather
than refrain from bullying but there is a bit about bullying.
I would go over the information on the website with my
students and then show them posts and have them decipher whether
or not the posts showed good internet practice. I would then have
them create a form of social media and challenge them to only use
safe internet practices on this. It would be a small project that would
continue for a month so they got good practice.
Resource 2:
Tips to Identify, Deal With, and Prevent Cyber Bullying
Link
This is a website that shows students how to identify
when cyber bullying is occurring. It is important for students to be able
to identify when cyber bullying is happening so they can fix and
prevent it from happening in the future. It not only gives tips for
bystanders, but also for students who are being cyber bullied.
I would present this information to my class through a
presentation and then present them with different scenarios such as
they are being cyber bullied or they are a bystander to cyberbullying.
Then they will have to use the information on the website to figure out
how to fix it.
Resource 3:
Keeping Students Digitally Safe
Link
This is an article about why students should be digitally
safe and how they can be digitally safe from the perspective of a
parent. It talks about why parents act the way they do and why it is
important that their children are safe on the internet, make appropriate
posts, and do not share too much.
 I would have all my students read the article and then
discuss with each other. We would then share why they now believe it
is important to be safe on the internet and what indicates safe and
unsafe actions/posts.
Resource 4:
Middle and High School- Stay Safe Online
Link
This is a website with pages designed on how to educate
teachers on how to educate their students on internet safety. There are
basic tips, key concepts, and more.
I would use this because there is a pre-made lesson plan
so it would be less work for me to prepare for the lesson. There are
also class worksheets and activities that I would use to educate my
class and ensure that they are practicing a safe, healthy internet
community.

Third Objective:

Learning Objective: The students will be able to understand the

consequences of their actions when online.
Resource 1:
Policies and Laws for Cyberbullying
Link
This website has a map that is color coated with whether
the state has laws for cyberbullying, policy only, or both law and policy.
You can then click on any state on the map and then understand the
policies better. Depending on which state I will be teaching in, the
students can look at their states or surrounding states to better
understand the consequences of cyberbullying.
I would present the website to my students along with a
worksheet about their state and ask them to fill out on the worksheet
the different consequences faced by cyberbullying. Then they would
have some time to explore the website to see the consequences for
other states and compare. This way they are able to understand the
consequences for potential actions online.
Resource 2:
FAQ on Sexting and Sextortion
Link
This is a website that talks about sexting, why it is not a
smart idea, and what to do if someone is exploiting photos of you. It
also warns against exploiting photos or other forms of contact you
have received and the repercussions.
 I would have my students read over it and then have a
discussion with them about why this is not a good idea to do. High
School students are most prone to sexting because of their age so it is
important to target this topic at their age.
Resource 3:
Swapping Nude Images Spells Trouble For Teens
Link
This is a video and an article about about teens expliciting
nude images. It talks about the severe consequences repercussions
that can come from exploiting someone's photos or even sending
them. It also talks about a sex offender who was collecting nude
photos of young kids. It shows how to prevent this from happening to
students.
I would show the video to my students and then have

This is a website that gives statistics about what
oversharing on the internet can do for teenagers. It also shows
examples of things that may not seem bad to share on the internet but
then actually are. This website shows the consequences that could
happen for sharing certain things on the internet.
I would have my students read the article and then write

discussion with my class and come up with other examples of posts

consequences.
