Project Description
TECH LITERACY AND CYBERBULLYING
As a result of the growing use of the internet and other digital technologies, internet users have moved from digital illiterates to digital citizens. The internet has also infiltrated education, with huge potential to increase educational quality, which is one of the cornerstones of long-term growth. Despite all of the beneficial consequences of the digital revolution, it also has a number of drawbacks. One of these is cyberbullying, a severe social problem and public health concern that has been linked to a variety of harmful mental, social, and physical results. Cyberbullying is described as a harassment that takes place through digital means and more specifically “a willful and repeated harm inflicted through the use of computers, cell phones, and other electronic devices” (Cyberbullying Research Center).
