KEWL Chart Cyber Security
This is what the chart looks like. You can copy
it on your paper. You can also complete it as a
class on an overhead

All Right Lets Get Started

• First we brainstorm!!!

7
What do we know about Bullying? What is Cyber
Bullying?

• List your answers in the K column of the chart.
  This column forms a foundation of what you
  currently know about bullying. Also list what
  you know about cyber bullying. Hopefully you are
  somewhat familiar with both and able to give
  basic information.
•  
• Sample question and answer
• Q. What is bullying? What is cyber bullying?
• A. Mean behavior, mean/harassing behavior
  online, etc.

8
Ok so now that we have figured out what we know
time to find out what else we need to know!

• This information goes in the E (expanding your
  knowledge) column

9
Expand Your Knowledge

• Where is your knowledge lacking? What more do
  you feel you should know about bullying and cyber
  bullying?
• Sample questions to go in this column
• What are rules concerning bullying at school, in
  your community?
• How is cyber bullying different from other types
  of bullying?
• What types of actions online are considered
  bullying?

10
Great Now lets see what we can learn.

• Were going to take a look at the cyber bullying
  and netiquette fact sheets to learn more about
  both.

11
Lets Take a Closer Look at the Bully Facts
12
Cyber Bullying Factsheet

• "All cruelty springs from weakness. (Seneca,
  4BC-AD65)

Bullying has become an online event as well as a
physical one. Intimidation online can be just as
bad, and in some cases worse, than when bullying
occurs in the physical community.
13
Bullying

•  
• Bullies are those people who gain gratification
  (a sense of happiness) when they have provoked or
  tormented others.
• They feel better by making others feel worse.
  Cyber bullies are those bullies who use the
  Internet to be mean to others.

14
Bullying

•  
• E-mail provides one method of communication for
  these bullies.
• Flame mail mail designed to make another person
  mad is used along with hate mail mail that
  shows racism, sexism, or other prejudices.
• Another way bullies use the Internet is through
  bulletin boards and chat sites to make their
  comments public.
• Finally, some cyber bullies build Web sites
  devoted to making a person or persons feel bad.

15
Think About It!

• Do you think its a sign of strength or weakness
  to use the Internet for bullying? Why?

16
What to do if you are Cyber bullied

• Tell someone. Dont keep this to yourself. Tell
  a trusted adult about the bullying.
• Dont open or read messages by Cyber bullies.
• Tell the police if threatened.
• Tell your Internet Service Provider.
• Tell your school if it is school related.
  Schools have a bullying plan in place.
• Dont erase the messages they may be needed to
  take action. Instead, put them in a folder
  unread.
• Protect yourself never agree to meet with the
  person or with anyone you meet online.
• If bullied through chat or instant messaging, the
  bully can often be blocked. Tell someone!

17
How to avoid being bullied online

• Dont give out private information such as
  passwords, pins, name, address, phone number,
  school name, or family and friends names. This
  information can be used by bullies and other
  harmful people on the Internet.
• Use Netiquette. Be polite online and others will
  tend to do the same. If someone does get angry
  or bullies you, ignore them online Cyber
  bullies want a reaction just like other bullies.
• Dont send a message when you are angry it is
  hard to undo things that are said in anger.
• Delete messages from people you dont know or
  from people who seem angry or mean.
• When something doesnt seem right, it probably
  isnt. Get out of the site, chat, etc.

Prevention
18
Time for Discussion

• What are some ways that people could be bullied
  online through e-mail, chatting, bulletin
  boards, Web sites, etc.
• Has anyone in the class ever been bullied
  online?

19
Community

• Today we are talking about the online community
  and cyber bullying. However, you probably take
  part in many communities your school community,
  your neighborhood community, etc.
• Each community has its own rules and roles.
• What types of rules and roles do you think
  the online community has?

20
Netiquette

• Lets take a look at the Netiquette page.
• How do you think Netiquette can prevent online
  bullying?

21
E-mail Netiquette
Netiquette

• Use Meaningful Subject LinesTell the person what
  you are sending to them so they know what to
  expect when the message is opened.
• Don't Type With ALL CAPSThis is known as online
  screaming, and is considered to be rude.
• Think Before You Type
• Its easy to be misunderstood in Cyberspace be
  clear about what you want to say. Dont send a
  message when you are angry its hard to undo
  things that are said in anger.
• Use Emoticons ? ? to help others understand what
  you mean.

22
E-mail Netiquette
Netiquette

• Think About AttachmentsDont send something as
  an attachment if it can be copied and pasted into
  the email text. Dont send really large
  attachments. Dont send attachments with
  viruses. Andbe careful of attachments you
  download.
• Don't SpamDont send out messages that arent
  wanted!
• Don't Pass Around E-HoaxesUse your favorite
  Internet search engine to learn the truth about
  the latest e-hoaxes, urban myths, chain e-mail
  and pervasive riff-raff circulating on the
  Internet. Dont mislead others and cause alarm or
  stress.
• Don't Pass Around Chain LettersThey are
  annoying.

23
Chatroom and Instant Messaging
Netiquette

• Many of the same conventions that apply to
  newsgroups and e-mail are also relevant in
  chatrooms. You're still just typing your thoughts
  and sending them to people, but in a chatroom,
  they're just a little quicker to respond.
• Avoid Using ALL CAPSIts still considered
  yelling.
• Decide What Tone the Conversation Has Before
  PostingDon't use offensive language or
  nicknames. Always avoid making personal attacks
  and calling names.

24
Chatroom and Instant Messaging
Netiquette

• Don't "Flood" the ChatroomFlooding is repeating
  messages over and over, or filling the screen
  with gibberish, in order to impede communication
  in the chatroom.
• Be Nice to NewbiesIf someone stumbles into your
  chat, who is obviously new to this medium, show
  them some patience and help them get the hang of
  it.

25
Netiquette

• Most of these "netiquette rules" are really just
  common sense. Give people you meet online the
  same respect you would give someone in person.

26
? ? -) -( -( -) ? ?
Emoticons

• Emoticons stand for emotion icons. They are used
  to convey emotion in writing. When e-mailing,
  IMing, or chatting, writers use emoticons to show
  when joking, upset, or angry. They are useful so
  that someone doesnt take something written the
  wrong way.

27
Emoticons

• Emoticons are made of a sequence of characters on
  your keyboard. The most common emoticon is the
  smile. It is used to tell people dont take
  what I said seriously or I meant it as a joke or
  in good humor.
• A smile ? is made up of a colon for the eyes, a
  dash for the nose, and the right parenthesis for
  the smiling mouth.

28
Here are some Emoticons for you to use
-) Standard Smiley Shows you are kidding around or in a good mood.
-( Frown Shows you are upset about something
-) Winking
-D Laughing
-/ Undecided or confused
-Q Shows Confusion
-O Shows surprise or realization of an error

  groups, or as a race

  Take some time to learn some netiquette. You
  should be nice to new chatters. Dont be too
  critical if joking using emoticons. ?
•  
• Jake XDJFEWajskdflwijk Dont type gibberish
  in chats.
• Diane what was that?
• Jake XDJFEWajskdflwijk
• Jake XDJFEWajskdflwijk
• Mallory Ok, that is just getting plain
  annoying.
• Jake XDJFEWajskdflwijk
•  
• Alex As the moderator of this chat, I will be
  forced to kick you out if you keep this up.
  Moderators can kick you out of chats for not
  following netiquette. It is best to participate
  in moderated chats for safety reasons.

• Diane Jake, I got your email off your profile.
  Make sure you read what I sent you! 1. NEVER
  fill out a profile with personal information.
  This is dangerous. 2. E-mailing people without
  permission can be considered spamming and is
  annoying.
•  
• Mallory I read that email you sent me. What
  were you thinking? Do you really believe that
  junk? I mean who honestly WANTs to go to school
  all year? You find someone to agree with you and
  Ill show you a real freak! This is an
  inflammatory statement and can lead to
  harassment, etc. Be careful of what you say and
  how you say it online. You can disagree without
  insulting. Use emoticons! ? ?
•  
• Beth Look, Im outta here. As a newbie I feel
  stomped upon. You guys should learn some
  manners. This new chatter is leaving because
  others were rude. Remember to be kind to new
  chatters..
•  
• Mallory Yeah right, so says the dummy who
  didnt know caps were shouting. Again, an
  inflammatory statement. If joking use emoticons.
