Welcome to the 'Bullying and Social Media' support page, linked to the Level 1 Assessment 
sheet provided to you by your teacher.

A quick way to find out more about the debates around bullying and social media is to do an internet search but remember to think critically about which websites you use. For example, the EPIC databases are probably more reliable than Wikipedia. Wikipedia has great coverage of many topics, including the topics below, but you need to be aware that this information is contributed to by lots of different people. If you are using this site, it always pays to check the information against that on other sites or in books from the library.

Using a clustering search engine (such as Carrot2) rather than relying on a 'JGI' (Just Google It) approach is a more time effective strategy. You will still need to assess the websites you find for suitability - assess your sites using the CRAP test. :)
