In this article, Ferriter (2009) reveals many benefits from the use of technology in the classroom with our 21st-century learners. The resources and suggestions mentioned throughout this reading will assist teachers in ways to avoid problems and becoming engaging instructors by using technology in innovative ways. What I found was so innovative by this approach was by creating a network of innovative co-learners where collaboration takes place regularly, Ferriter (2009), is able to experiment with digital connections without ever meeting other teachers in person. Not only is this beneficial for students and teachers all over the world, but also simple. What I found was unique and useful was the worldwide collaboration that helps teachers explore skills and dispositions that assisted with the network cooperation by creating shared content.

1) The stakes of our project are the lives of African-American women who are put behind bars for non-violent offenses, specifically drug offenses. We are directing our podcast towards law students who are looking to become public defenders and district attorneys. With that being said, the average public defender and district attorney are not familiar with the lives of the people they prosecute and defend. Nor are most of them familiar with the hardships drug offenses cause African-American families because of The War on Drugs.

Research also indicated that girls are more likely to be victims of bullying on social media networks than boys. More than half on bullied students feel hopeless so they do not tell anyone when cyber bullying occurs and stay quiet about their problems. Even though many people try to ignore bullies and stay strong, cyber bullying often lead them to very serious mental issues such as anxiety, insomnia or depression and can also have a long-term damage on teenagers’ self-esteem. Cyber bullying victims are two to nine times more likely to commit suicide than people who do not experience bullying on the internet.

Cyberbullying may occur in a person’s life, whether the person would be the enforcer or receiver. In Moalem’s essay, he points out, this growing epidemic and provides statistical data to exemplify the number of children that are bullied in our society. In the essay Moalem states that, “The real numbers are hard to come by, but it’s thought that at least three quarters of all children have been bullied at some point in their lives, which means there’s a good chance you were on the receiving end of such unfortunate experiences yourself while you were growing up” (280). Since the advancements of technology, the way people bully each other became more advanced than people could think. The new wave of cyberbullying is classified as a “joke” and the person who is bullying another person in most cases would be label as a “savage”.

The internet enables information to be both pervasive and ever-present, creating a limitless amount of opportunities for victimization to take place (Hinduja & Patchin, 2015). All these circumstances factor in together to produce a new form of bullying that has become more problematic for today’s

The study that was carried out by a sample group comprised middle students revealed findings that learners are highly the ones involved in cyber bullying (Çetin et al.,2012). Many characteristics emerged regarding the risk factors and frequency of the students being involved in cyber bullying. Unlike in the physical bullying where the victims of such actions represented a small and vulnerable group of children, the current research showed that the victims of the cyber bullying comprise a larger group. Risk factors were also established among three categories of children depending on a number of hours they spent on a computer. As much as technology has been efficient in global operations today, a limitation should be considered when it comes to teenagers and young people.

Beran and Li, (2007) and Willard (2007b) have put forth the idea of Cyber bullying and traditional bullying as closely interrelated phenomenon. They believe that individuals engaging in acts of traditional bullying are at a high risk of being involved in cyberbullying acts, and vice-versa. A few studies affirm these discoveries (Patchin & Hinduja, 2006). Feinberg and Robey, (2008); and Willard, (2007b) also identified the negative impact of cyber bullying on school atmosphere, thus, leading victims to face maladjustment issues. Further, students being bullied at school may turn bullies online so as to seek revenge against the offender at school (Beran & Li, 2007; Juvonen & Gross, 2008; Patchin & Hinduja, 2009; Shariff, 2008; Szoka &Thierer,
