Jostens Renaissance National Conference

"The internet is not a place to harass others or hurt them. The internet is supposed to be a place that is safe and fun for people, not a place to be criticized or harassed. I used to be bullied at school frequently and I was sometimes hurt so badly that I had to fake sick at school just so I could go home. One girl actually told me she would come and murder my parents and kill me personally. She made me cry so hard that I threw up. So, I know firsthand what its like to be bullied beyond your imagination." (12 year-old girl from Michigan)

I just got back from the Jostens Renaissance National Conference. WOW. The energy at this conference was electric. Over 1,100 educators and superstar students from around the country met up in Phoenix to discuss various issues relating to teaching, learning, culture, and motivation (just to name a few). I covered a basic overview of cyberbullying and other issues related to adolescent use of technology in a couple of breakout sessions. In addition to the learning that was taking place, there was also a heavy dose of fun. These folks were a riot to hang out with. It is really inspiring to be around people who are passionate about their jobs. Kudos to Jostens for putting on such an amazing event.
