Girls and Tech SavvyinessI would like to respond to Sharon's quote. Who are those people? And what kind of lives do they have? It sounds like they could find something wrong with a poor helpless ant. Now I'm not saying that all of the cartoons, or games for that matter, out there are great for children, but it seems to me that they are choosing to pick apart some of the tamer ones. What do they think about the more gruesome ones? That would be interesting to note! STRANGE!!!

I read an interesting article in this months edition of NEA Today. The title was "Why Aren't Girls More Tech Savvy?" Girls blow off the high-end computer culture because it doesn't incorporate their interests. How - and why - the computer culture needs to change."
Now I haven't done any of the research in this area, as I'm sure another team out there has, but I found this rather offensive personally. Along with looking at computer usage in schools, this article is saying tha girls don't want to go into the technology fields because they don;t find any interest in it. How many girls are enrolled in this class, and in this masters program for that matter?

It looks like they need to do a little more research!
