¿SABIAS QUE? El ciberacoso sigue siendo una amenaza en la educación a distancia Este año, con la escuela comenzando en línea, los niños de todas las edades estarán interactuando unos con otros vía tecnología aún más que lo usual. Esté pendiente de señales que indiquen que está ocurriendo acoso vía internet, textos, por medio de aplicaciones, o de las redes sociales. Aunque constituya un desafío, monitoree tanto la cantidad de tiempo que sus niños pasan conectados, como el contenido de lo que ellos están viendo cuando interactúen con sus amigos. El ciberacoso puede incluir el uso de aplicaciones, textos, fotografías, e imágenes con los cuales se intenta herir, hostigar, avergonzar, o hasta destruir la reputación de una víctima. Los niños que son acosados por medio de internet pueden evitar conectarse en línea o de hablar con sus llamados amigos. Ellos podrían mostrarse tristes o enojados y pueden tener baja autoestima.
