One in every four students is bullied online. The growing world of cyber bullying is reaching new heights, as youth struggle to hide their differences for fear of abandonment and public humiliation. Cyber bullying does not discriminate between boys, girls, physical differences or mental challenges; and the cyber bully takes victims at will, since he or she can remain anonymous. Jacob Zellmann tells how being cyber bullied led him to the brink of suicide. Intervention and support from loved ones kept him alive, and now Jacob is an active advocate against bullying.
Bullying is no longer just a face-to-face exchange. The rapid rise of the internet and handheld devices has created another realm in which bullies are active. This striking, drama-led program focuses on the impact of cyber bullying and the steps victims can take to deal with it. The different forms of cyber bullying, such as masquerading, stalking and flaming, are shown in dramatic scenarios, along with the emotional and psychological consequences. A broad-ranging and highly-relevant insight into this growing trend, the program will appeal to viewers across multiple study areas.

"Recommended." - Video Librarian, July/Aug 2008
"...educational DVD to cyber self-defense in the modern world of the Internet, social networking sites, text messaging and cell phones...invaluable and timely addition..." - The Midwest Book Review, May 2008
Most people learn traditional standards of behavior and respect for others by the time they are teenagers - but many don't realize that those rules are just as valid in cyberspace. This program helps students take the high road on the information superhighway and avoid the temptations of the fast lane, pointing the way toward an ethically sound Internet presence and lifestyle. Guidelines for the use of intellectual property are featured, with emphasis on the consequences of illegal downloading, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. Pornography, gaming sites, chat rooms, and online social networks are also discussed, helping viewers steer clear of anti -social and abusive activities, especially cyber -bullying. Commentary from experts, as well as questions from peers who are confused about the fine points of cyber legality, serve to clarify central ethical principles.
What harm could come from sitting leisurely at the computer, chatting with online pals? Unfortunately, many young people who spend hours in chat rooms or post sensitive information on the Internet have little or no idea of the risks involved. This program warns students about how vulnerable they are whenever they venture into the cyber realm - even when they think they're among "friends." Explaining how to take precautions in chat rooms, on social networking sites, and anywhere that predators lurk, the program strongly advises against physically meeting any online acquaintance and emphasizes that parents or guardians must be involved in such meetings. Commentary from experts and questions from peers reinforce the notion of an irreversible virtual footprint - a trail that all Internet users leave which can be used against them.
The Internet offers vast possibilities for learning, making a living, and having fun - but it can also destroy reputations, empty bank accounts, and ruin lives. This program cautions students about potential hazards to their computers - not to mention their careers, finances, and futures - that exist online. Highlighting the importance of setting up a firewall and keeping one's operating system up to date, the program provides straightforward advice about protecting against hackers, viruses, Trojan horses, spyware, adware, phishing emails, and other high -tech threats. Each concept is defined in user -friendly terms. More basic but equally vital steps like maintaining multiple passwords and not sharing personal information are also discussed. Commentary from experts, as well as questions from peers about the details of computer safeguards, will help students increase their online security.
Cyber-bulling is any form of harassment that occurs via the Internet. Vicious forum posts, name calling in chat rooms, posting fake profiles on web sites and mean or cruel email messages are all examples of bullying. While Cyber-Bullying mainly takes place on line, other high tech methods like threatening text messages and taunting voicemail also fall under this category. Cyber-bullying is a crime in some States and has even led to death. Hear from Real Teens as they discuss their views on Cyber-Bullying.
Subjects Covered Include: Why do teens Cyber-Bully
What can be done about Cyber-Bullies
How can Cyber-Bullies be stopped
Dealing with forum and chat room bulling
Where to turn to if you or a friend is being Cyber-Bullied
Bullying has long been an unfortunate aspect of schooling, but today it is no longer confined to the real world. Cyber bullies are making their presence felt, and, while their motivations are the same as those of the schoolyard bully, the way they operate is quite different.
This essential program looks at what cyber bullying is; cyber stalking and the law; and what students can do to protect themselves from this ever increasing threat. Education for parents and school communities is also examined, with strategies on how to deal with cyber bullying and positive schoolwide solutions.

It's extremely important for parents to know the pitfalls and dangers lurking on the Internet. By now, most parents have heard some information about the Internet and how children and young adults come in contact with kidnappers, abductors, sexual predators, pornography, and inappropriate material. This program is a bit different than any other. Law Enforcement and Internet experts have volunteered their expertise and wealth of first hand knowledge to provide parents with information and tools to help reduce these crimes against children.
Topics discussed in this training video include: Internet Technology, The Pitfalls, Internet Software, Preferential Sex Offenders, Sexual Predators.
Computers and the Internet have revolutionized the way we do business. Along with this technical progress, we are introduced to Cyber crime and privacy issues. When we hear the word cyber crime, it conjures up the scene of young computer hackers trying to break into computers to do harm to a particular company or website. Hacking is cyber crime, but in the business world, there are many other rules and laws that could make almost anyone a cyber-criminal, even you. That's what we're going to discuss today, how individuals working for any company may commit criminal acts, perhaps without even knowing or realizing it. We'll also discuss computer privacy, as it applies to you at work.
Topics included in this safety video are: Title 18 U.S.C. 1029 (fraud and related activity in connection with access devices), Economic Espionage Act (computer crime and intellectual property section or CCIPS), copyright infringement (intellectual property section of the federal law), Title 18, U.S.C. 1030 (fraud and fraud related activity involving computers), company policies, procedures, and privacy.
In a recent survey, one in five teens admitted to sending nude or semi-nude photos or videos and more than half said it was common for explicit photos and text messages to be passed around among friends. View teens' real stories: a girl recounts how an explicit picture of her became widely circulated in her school; a boy expresses regret at posting pictures of a girlfriend after they had broken up. A law enforcement official drives home the legal consequences of sexting. Using a peer-to-peer approach, teens talk about the importance of resisting pressures to engage in sexting. They emphasize that you can't assume that anything you send or post is going to remain private; that you can't change your mind once something is out there in cyberspace; and that what you may think is a harmless joke may be interpreted very differently by someone else.
