Gen1.0Research

=** Research **= This page is going to be a launch pad for a number of areas that are of concern for the ensemble and the research that we undertake. The first thing that needs to be done discussed is:
 * 1) What is each of our positions in regard to the issue and sub-issues of cyber bullying?
 * 2) Are there other positions that we are aware of but don't necessarily agree with?
 * 3) Are there positions that we are unaware of?
 * 4) How does this inform our research?
 * 5) What then is the ensembles aims, goals, objectives in devising a piece of theatre for young audiences on the issue of cyber bullying?

The following dot points are areas for exploration:
 * What is bullying?
 * When, where, why, to whom, and how does it occur?
 * What is cyber bullying?
 * When, where, why, to whom, and how does it occur?
 * What are the effects of bullying and cyber bullying?
 * Short term and long term?
 * How do people cope with bullying?
 * Why are some people better equipped at coping with bullying than others?
 * Who are the bullies?
 * Who are the bystanders?
 * Who are the victims?
 * What are the implications for the intended audience age 12-16
 * What do we want to say about cyber bullying?

Here are some scholarly articles to start researching with.

Cyber Bullying articles
So I was fascinated with this video awhile ago not because of the actual content but the 328 posts later in which people continue to argue and cyber bully each other over the content of the video, heres the link http://www.youtube.com/comment_servlet?all_comments&v=YXmyD95Ny5I&fromurl=/watch%3Fv%3DYXmyD95Ny5I

Digital divide articles
[|Marc Prensky] wrote this article and he has written many others concerning the use of technology in education. Visit his website to cehck out the many other subjects he has written on.

Sensitive issues in drama and theatre
This article by Helen Cahill is fantastic. It talks about dealing with sensitive issues in the drama classroom however it is still considerably relevant to the work we are doing. I'll try and find the two articles on the play burnt.

Please add any articles be they scholarly or popular and anything else you find relevant that can be shared by the ensemble. This includes web pages, songs, music, videos, your own stories, anything...
