  9. Treating cyber bullying in the future • Educating kids in school-at a younger age. • More attention emphasized by school police officers. • Community groups. • Parenting tendencies? (what do you guys think)

  10. Critical Literacy EXCLUSION IS ACCESS TO THIS TECHNOLOGY DENIED TO PERSONS BECAUSE OF RACE, CLASS, GENDER, OR ACHIEVEMENT CATEGORIES? FOR EXAMPLE, THINK OF A TECHNOLOGY THAT IS DEBATABLY GEARED THROUGH MARKETING TO WOMEN VERSUS MEN (E.G. COMMERCIALS FOR HOME CLEANING PRODUCTS ROUTINELY DEPICT “MOTHERS” AS THE TARGET AUDIENCE FOR THEIR PRODUCT). CYBER-BULLYING IS A USE OF TECHNOLOGY THAT IS DIRECTED TOWARDS A SPECIFIC AUDIENCE. THE BULLYING IS GENERALLY ATTACKING CHILDREN, USUALLY FALLING IN THE AGES OF 10-18. PARENTS AND OTHER ADULTS ARE NOT OFTEN VICTIMS OF CYBER-BULLYING BECAUSE THEY ARE A HARDER TARGET TO ATTACK (OLDER/MORE MATURE, SMARTER, LESS EMOTIONAL, ETC.)
