This blog's purpose is to introduce and address the issue of student netiquette and cyber-bullying in educational technology. Both of these issues have an effect on each other. If a student doesn't have the netiquette of how to use the internet it can lead to hostile behavior of cyber-bullying. This issue has increased rapidly in the last couple years and has lead to severe tragedies. "Around 10 percent of all adolescents in grades 7-9 are victims of internet bullying." When students aren't educated on internet netiquette they don't understand the consequences of what can happen due to their behavior online. "Cyber-bullying involves a power play when trying to make someone else feel weak and helpless, while inflating your own value. Online bullying is particularly tempting, since anyone with access to a computer can play. "
