Article 2: Is Technology Just for Boys?
I think girls feel alienated by the use of computes because they feel that computers don't give them a place to express themselves. When we look at kids who are really into computers, the majority of them are boys who aren't big on talking or expressing themselves. Teachers need to find a way to show girls that computers and technology can be used as a great tool for expression and communication. Lesson plans in technology should be flexible, where students an use their own interests and strengths to do projects. Technology certainly isn't one-size-fits all, so our approach to teaching it to our students shouldn't be either.
