What are some potential compelling questions your team is considering? Using action research survey data compiled by a team member in 2012 and 2013, our team hopes to help answer questions related to the impact that cyberbullying has on middle school students, who also need to use the Internet for research and academic work. Building on an annual Internet Awareness Week now in its fourth year, this PBI will hope to delve into to the following overarching questions in our work with 5-8th graders: And we will also examine the following secondary question; This PBI will not be able to answer both of these questions completely, but through a variety of activities and inquiry, students will determine how to apply responsible behaviors, and specifically ethical behaviors, when using information and technology resources. All activities and lessons will focus on the concepts of cyberbullying and Internet safety, and the impact these topics have on a students’ ability to learn and achieve through digital learning environments.
 * What are students’ out of school digital literacies?
 * What is the relationship between students’ digital identities and school achievement?

Background In a traditional PBI learning environment, students encounter a problem (cyberbullying and dilemmas related to Internet safety), and use what they already know to devise a solution, including the identification of needed information. A PBI project is perfect for a lesson related to digital citizenship and new literacies because students come across problems related to the use of new literacies when working online, and must be able to problem solve using their own experiences and knowledge when faced with these issues. Students will be working together as a group to determine how they can remedy a situation many of them face; uncomfortable or disturbing online experiences related to the posting of content or information that can make it more difficult to learn through new literacies available online in social media, forums, and any website with options for posting content. In addition to the use of previously gathered student data on technology usage and experiences with cyberbullying, the content for this PBI will be based on North Carolina’s Essential Standards for Information Technology as mentioned below. Using computers, Internet access, websites, video, and collaborative programs like Google documents, students will take the provided survey data and other resources. They will determine what adults in their lives can do to help them navigate online environments, and how they can educate their peers about the importance of online Internet safety and digital citizenship. The instructor in a PBI must be comfortable taking on more of a guided or facilitator type of role, in providing the resources and instructional materials that engage students in the learning process. Students working together will drive their own learning, with the instructor providing reliable strategies and guidance for students to consider as they question their progress in an iterative PBI process. Specifically, this PBI will focus on the following curriculum objectives from the North Carolina Essential Standards: 7.SI.I Evaluate information sources based on specified criteria. 8.RP.1 Apply a research process to complete project-based activities. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #454545; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">8.RP.1.2 Implement a project-based activity independently.
