TIES - Can schools regulate cyberbullying, harassment, and social networking?

Yesterday at the TIES conference I had the honor of giving the lunchtime presentation (i.e., I was the only presentation during that time slot). I gave a presentation titled Can Schools Regulate Cyberbullying, Harassment, and Social Networking? I discussed some general legal principles related to off-campus student cyberspeech, highlighted the only six court decisions I can find on this topic, and answered a lot of great questions from the audience.

The materials from this presentation are available on my TIES 2006 web page, including both my PowerPoint slides and the podcast I made of the presentation.

Great presentation, Scott! I listened to it on the way home from work today...definitely worth a listen, and I shared it with other tech directors in Texas.

I particularly enjoyed the cases you shared and the subsequent question-and-answer session. As I was listening, I wondered what were some things administrators needed to know, and how I could design an admin leadership seminar around those need to know items.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Best wishes,
