... Excellent presentation. Very appropriate for students as it was explained in language they understood. More students need to experience this workshop .... T.W., OCDSB Nov. 16, 2009
... I think the workshop made it very clear that there are definite consquences for cyberbullies, and that it's okay to tell a trusted adult. The students seemed to be completely engaged - no small feat at the Intermediate level! ... W.H. OCDSB, Nov. 16, 2009
