And the girls?
I came across Lauren’s blog on girls and ICT. She raises an important issue that the Queensland Department of Education and the Arts are implementing.
ICT is seen proximately as a male field therefore it is dominated by males. This stereotype has seen females lost somewhere behind. The 2005-2008 Girls and ICT Strategy provides ideas to improve girls interest, motivation
and participation in ICT. I believe this is a great idea; technology is one of those things that when you truly do understand it the sky is the limit. Technology allows things to be accomplished that sometimes a pen and paper can’t do. Smart boards, Internet lessons that allow children to work at their own pace not everyone else’s pace, Blogs, podcasts the list is endless, and girls shouldn’t be deprived of learning these things.
The YouTube video that is inserted really pushed through this idea that Girls are just as good when it comes to technology, they just need a chance and the opportunity to keep being sustained, I like the way it points out that technology Is the way of the future which is so true so lets not leave the girls or for the fact anybody behind.
