It’s great to have access to a huge amount of technological resources which were never available when I was in school. But there’s also a darker side: cyberbullying. As an educator who blogs about integrating technology with education, I feel an obligation to also address this issue.
To that end, this page is a library of different resources which focus on bullying in general, and cyberbullying in particular: links to videos, websites, and books, as well as a list of peer-reviewed journal articles. I will add more as I find them, and if you know of any others, please let me know and I’ll add them. Alternatively, you can add them in the comments below.

“The No Asshole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn’t” by Robert I. Sutton, 2007, Warner Business Books
The No Asshole Rule was awarded a Quill Award as the Best Business Book of 2007. When Robert Sutton’s “No Asshole Rule” appeared in the Harvard Business Review, readers of this staid publication were amazed at the outpouring of support for this landmark essay. The idea was based on the notion, as adapted in hugely successful companies like Google and SAS, that employees with malicious intents or negative attitudes destroyed any sort of productive and pleasant working environment, and would hinder the entire operation’s success.
