[LM_NET] Cyberbullying

[Robert Dubose <rdubose@ALVORD.K12.CA.US>]

Glen Warren, Media Resources Coordinator for the Orange County
Department of Education and Seanean Shanahan, LAUSD Library media
Services, just made the comment on March 27 at the CSLA Southern Section
meeting in Los Angeles that teacher librarians need to TAKE OVER the
cyberbullying curriculum and make it our issue.  They reminded the
teacher librarians present that our new California Model Library
Standards are the only content standards in this state that address the
issue.  Here it is barely two weeks later and Dr. Phil McGraw just
yesterday (April 8) stated that a daily class in cyberbullying needs to
be a mandated part of the school curriculum.  Do other states address
cyber citizenship in their library content standards?  What can we do to
create added value for library programming by claiming the cyberbullying
class as our own?
