Keynote Speaker
Dr Marilyn Campbell
Cyberbullying – A new version of an old problem
When: Saturday 20 March 2010 at 9.00am (Registration) -3.30pm
Where: PTC Conference Centre
Corner of Norton and Marion Street, Leichhardt
Cyberbullying is a new version of an old problem in the domain of email, texting, social networking, chat rooms, mobile phones, mobile phone cameras and web sites. Cyberbullying could be more damaging than face-to-face bullying because of the wider audience, the power of the written word, the 24-7 nature, and the disinhibition that some students feel.
Teachers need to be familiar with these technologies that students use so confidently, so that they recognise issues and raise them with their students.
