For my Capstone Project I am interested in the topic of Cyberbullying.This is a occurrence that has started being an issue in the 21st century because of all the technology that was created. Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place using electronic technology. Electronic technology includes devices and equipment such as cell phones, computers, and tablets as well as communication tools including social media sites, text messages, chat, and websites. Examples of cyberbullying include mean text messages or emails, rumors sent by email or posted on social networking sites, and embarrassing pictures, videos, websites, or fake profiles. Cell phones and computers themselves are not to blame for cyberbullying. Social media sites can be used for positive activities, like connecting kids with friends and family, helping students with school, and for entertainment. But these tools can also be used to hurt other people. Whether done in person or through technology, the effects of bullying are similar. Bullying can threaten students’ physical and emotional safety at school and can negatively impact their ability to learn. The best way to address bullying is to stop it before it starts. There are a number of things school staff can do to make schools safer and prevent bullying. I am going to represent this huge issue with an animation, and an infographic. In the animation I can show what goes on with cyberbullying and the interactions behind the screen that takes place. For the infographic I am going to manufacture an impactful image that makes the reader feel they should stand up against cyberbullying.
