Facing the realities of bullying

I read this blog and the associated news story yesterday. One thing it has done for me is to move me another step towards working with students and parents to understand the way social networking and personal communication on the internet work in practice. Many of the things I speak to parents about ways to monitor their child's interactions on the net can use some minor revisions. It is clear to me that it is not only in the realm of research that students need to learn how to validate what they read online, but also in their personal lives.
