ABSTRACT

Problems related to bullying via electronic devices are becoming more common and more visible on campuses. Some students use computers or personal devices during their free time at home to bully teachers and administrators and students on a campus. This case study also considers the bullying of educators by parents, the flipped classroom, and the relationship between military installations and public school districts. Electronic devices (EDs) and social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, are seemingly ubiquitous and can easily become channels for Student Code of Conduct (SCOC) or penal code violations when they contain words or pictures that are inappropriate, demeaning, or threatening to others. Stopping student cyberbullies may seem impossible, especially when they create their propaganda at home and avoid bringing it into the educational environment. This chapter explores the issues presented in the case study, with a brief literature review to help give context to those issues.
