There was an incident at our school where a high school boy posed as a high school girl over social media and persuaded a special needs boy who had a crush on this girl to send a video of himself doing something inappropriate. It was a horrible incident. I was so angry that this young man did this to the special needs boy. He was so pumped to be 'talking' to this girl that he has always liked. Other individuals knew this was taking place as he spent several days 'talking' to the boy online posing as this girl. I was not alone in my anger and disgust with this situation.
Since this has happened our school has spent some time developing some digital citizenship lessons/courses for our students. Our incoming 7th graders have to take a course with our principal before they are allowed to have their school email turned on. It's a little step, but hopefully, we will continue to make steps int he right direction within our district.
