October is National Bullying Prevention Month. Many of you may think that bullying is something that takes place in the hallway or on the playgrounds, however in today's digital society, a lot of bullying actually takes place on the computer.
How can you do your part to prevent bullying in your classroom? Implement a digital classroom management solution to make sure you know what is going on at all times in your classroom. This is especially important as schools are migrating towards a 1:1 approach to learning with technology. Take full control of the PCs in your classroom and control which websites students have access to at what times. You will also be able to monitor two-way instant messenger conversations or block instant messenger entirely on any of the mainstream chat programs (Google Talk, Yahoo Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger, ect). CrossTec SchoolVue not only has a keystroke monitor that can track every move in every application on the PC, it can actually enable you to create a list of keywords to look out for to prevent cyberbullying. SchoolVue also has a private chat function that allows students to report foul play by sending a private, discreet message to the teacher to alert them of the disturbance.
Want to see this solution in action? There is a web event on October 27th at will show how you can implement SchoolVue and prevent cyberbullying. Click HERE to RSVP.
