Abstract: Cyber-bullying is the use of technologies to harm other people, in a deliberate, repeated, and hostile manner. As it has become more common among young people, legislation and awareness campaigns have arisen to combat it. This session is designed to support teacher educators in enhancing their understanding of anti-bullying education and available online resources appropriate for integration into teacher education curriculum. Participants will collaboratively explore online resources and discuss key strategies for integrating these tools into the classroom.
