Hi all. I received the email below introducing me to a Frontline show about kids online. She suggested that this show might be of interest to my "readers." Well, I guess that is you folks. ;-) I sort of wish they had included me on the program - since the I am one of the folks focusing on positive solutions. Nancy -- Nancy Willard, M.S., J.D. Center for Safe and Responsible Internet Use http://csriu.org http://cyberbully.org http://cyber-safe-kids.com http://csriu.wordpress.com nwillard@csriu.org Cyberbullying and Cyberthreats: Responding to the Challenge of Online Social Aggression, Threats, and Distress (Research Press) Cyber-Safe Kids, Cyber-Savvy Teens: Helping Young People Learn to Use the Internet Safely and Responsibly (Jossey-Bass) ------ Forwarded Message From: "Sandy St. Louis" <sandy_st_louis@wgbh.org> Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2008 11:47:01 -0500 To: info@csriu.org Subject: PBS FRONTLINE: "Growing Up Online," Jan. 22 on PBS Hi Nancy, Iım writing to let you know about PBS FRONTLINEıs upcoming report ³Growing Up Online² which will air Tuesday, Jan. 22 at 9pm on PBS. The story investigates the risks, realities and misconceptions of teenage self-expression on the Web. I think this will be an interesting topic for the Center for Safe and Responsible Internet Use readers and colleagues. Among several topics the program looks at social networking sites which are increasingly a the place where kids hash out their conflicts, re-enforce unhealthy or risky behaviors and in some cases the conflicts and behaviors can escalate or become deadly as in the case of Ryan Halligan who committed suicide after a cyber bullying incident. Kids used to get bullied but it ended in the schoolyard. Now the taunts continue at home in the online world. There is no safe refuge. Ryanıs father tells FRONTLINE, ³The computer and the Internet were not the cause of my son's suicide, but I believe they helped amplify and accelerate the hurt and the pain that he was trying to deal with that started in person, in the real world.² I encourage you to look at our preview Web site where you can find a preview trailer (with embed code for video syndication) and a full description of the program: http://www.pbs.org/frontline/kidsonline/ ³Growing Up Online² should be a thought-provoking program for your readers interested in the Internet, education and online culture. We would love to include this information in your newsletter or blog. It should be a interesting program for your readers. All the best, Sandy St. Louis FRONTLINE (617) 300-5379 One Guest Street Boston, MA 02135 ------ End of Forwarded Message -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
