- “Don’t dare over share.”
- “Prevent a jam, don’t open spam.”
- “Don’t be a fool, cyberbullying is not cool.
- “Don’t be mean and hide behind the screen.”
- “Don’t open your door to a stranger.”
- “Keep your information or it will be a big operation.”
- “Insults on the internet never go away, therefore, nice things are the only things you should say.”
- “Be a cyberbuddy, not a cyberbully.”
- “Shred it or you will regret it.”
-Evaluating digital comic strip software and technology to deliver a visual message from a student-created storyboard, communicating slogans in a different format now on display throughout the school.
