CyberBullying

This page is shortly going to be written by students at Wedderburn College as part of their unit of work on Web 2.0 applications.

Students in Year 8 at Wedderburn College are currently participating in an online project with students from around the world to explore what it means to be a global citizen. The Digiteen project has students working collaboratively together to discover and advise on best ways to manage digital information in a safe, effective and efficient way.
