Australian schools are spending tens of thousands of dollars on high-tech devices to beat bullying in the schoolyard.
“Bully buttons”, which students push when they are being bullied, can be installed around a school, linked to cameras that record incidents and alerting teachers by SMS.
Once the button is pressed, nearby cameras swing into action and record the area around the button. Teachers are alerted by SMS or by a pop-up screen on a connected PC in the staff room or office.
