citing sources
Citing sources is important for many reasons. First of all, citations give credit to the author whose work you are using. If you quote words or phrases without citing them you are plagiarizing. You must also cite any pictures you use that are not your own. In addition to giving credit, citations allow your reader to know you have completed research. Lastly, citations allow the reader to look at the sources you used. (Citing Sources: Overview, n.d.)

cyberbullying
Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place electronically, meaning it can occur using cell phones, computers, and tablets. Some of the places cyberbullying occurs include social media, gaming, messaging, and email. According to stopbullying.gov, in a 2015 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System, "an estimated 16% of high school students were bullied electronically in the 12 months prior to the survey" (What is Cyberbullying, n.d.).
As a responsible digital citizen it is important to recognize and report cyberbullying. Students need to print or document any inappropriate behavior and share with a trusted adult. |
