Blackboard Announces Text Message Bullying Reporting System

The AP (5/30, Elliott) reports that “leading education technology company” Blackboard has “announced it would give schools a free and confidential way for students to tell school officials via text that they are being bullied or are witnessing bullying. Blackboard’s TipTxt program could change the school climate — or reveal just how pervasive student-on-student harassment has become.”
