Blog's purpose

Ana Melo

This blog is a course practice exercise intended for students enrolled in EDM 510 Microcomputing Systems in Education in the fall of 2012. Students can incorporate the teacher role or the parent role, which ever their prefer, and give their input on the subject to follow:


This Blog will be an open space and communicator tool between parents and teachers discussing a very important subject that affects many children from all ages: Bullying.
As Teachers, we need to be aware of not only the academic achievements of our students, but also the environment our students are in. Are they suffering with a nickname a classmate made up for him? Are they isolating themselves from the group because another child told them to?
What can we do to prevent bullying from happening and once it happens, what are the ways to heal the students?
We will discuss this with teachers and parents so we can have a broad view of the problem.
Looking forward to your comments!
