program window personnel of the
program and institutional staff
will be able to:
•Access the frequency of the use
internet security measures.
•Evaluate the different strategies
of internet safety been utilized in
the program.
•Identify the effectiveness of
safety methods/strategies
6. Evaluation
• Formative Methods
• Process Evaluation
• When? School Breaks/Off Days
• During the program and at the end of the 8-month windows.
• Summative Evaluation Methods
• Impact-What is the immediate effect?
• Outcome-Long Term
7. Budget

OLWEUS-
In their research on cyberbullying prevention strategies published in the International Journal of Cyber Criminology, Kraft and Wang cite that successful bullying prevention programs focus on changing the to a climate of negative reinforcement for cyberbullying (2009). This is similar to the program we are suggesting with Web Spiders, to educate the community and change it primarily through education and communication. The above mentioned strategy was divided into sections such as incorporating social skills training into curriculum, and increasing parental involvement; however, it was further evaluated as “successful in Norway, but not as successful in the United States” (Kraft & Wang, 2009).
WebQuest (Taiwan)
In a quasi-experimental study Ming, Wu, Svanstrom, and Koustuv (2013) experimented on the usage of WebQuest in Taiwan schools. This program had assisting teaching materials for instructors to use to improve education on cyberbullying which is a health issue in Tawain
The researchers did not specifically mention the success rate as it is an ongoing program and learning initiative to decrease incidence of cyberbullying.
ConRed-
ConRed is a program which aims to improve perceived control over information on the internet, reduces the time dedicated to digital device usage, and to prevent/reduce cyberbullying (Ortega-Ruiz et. al, 2015).
In their research analysis and quasi-experimental observations. Ortega-Ruiz, Del Rey, and Casa (2015) explained the effectiveness of the ConRed Program by using a sample of 893 students-595 experimental and 298 controls. The program was a contribution to reductions in cyberbullying and increased the perceived safety of the school. The goals and objectives of Web Spiders were inspired by this program as well as the OLWEUS curriculum.
All activities will take place as agreed between program staff and the administrators of the school
•
The in school activities will only have 10-15 minutes’ length of time, while the trainings for Peer Health Educators and institutional staff will be approximately 30-45 minutes. However, we are aware this may not always work and will be adjusted in each of the professional development periods, this layout is tentative and may be changed based on the interactions between the institutional facility administration and the program planners/facilitators.
•
Every off period (school breaks) will be used as time to regroup to evaluate the program to improve it.
•
The program will be implemented with a strong focus on the middle school students, with this in mind our program will be implemented as a part of the school curriculum (during class). As for the parents and institutional staff we plan to work with the administrators in order to make instructor attendance as mandatory as possible given the seriousness of cyberbullying and its impact on students in their academia and social lives. Parents and community involvement will be solely voluntary; however, we agree that parents have a strong connection with their children and will do whatever is possible to protect and help keep them safe, with this being said we do not expect them to be in attendance at all times, but we believe they will remain involved.
KNOWING THE PROBLEM
Before making an effort to change the behavior of the student, first, find the problem, identify it, and then solve it.
Computers should be under parental guidance and control.
Positive use of the internet is beneficial for their lives, the stability of society, and families.
