[Yr7-10it] RE: A Girls in computing group...

[Mclean, Rachelle L]

Hi Kent,

 

On an introductory level, girls love to design things, make things look
pretty.  They love anything social so web 2.0 tools are great.  Event
management seems to go down well too, like planning their 16th birthday
parties and things.  They love digital photography as well.  Once they
are engaged I have found girls love animation, film making and game
making as much as the boys do.

 

Cheers,

 

Rachelle

Hi folks, 

yep, me again...

Now, I was thinking this week about a few things for my middle school
classes and had this idea that I got from remembering that Margaret
Lawson(I think it was you) who did a similar thing previously at one of
her schools(I think it was when she was at MLC from memory).

Anyway,...If others have got a similar concept up and running in a co-ed
school as mine is, I'd love some ideas to get me started of what
works..and what doesnt!

Being a non-married male, I dont have a wife to get ideas from on this
one, so any of you gals out there who teach IT and have done this, can
you help this bloke out with some tips! (on the 'girls in computing'
group that is...but I am open to ideas on the other obvious one too -
always!).

Just wondering where to start with this one...too many
options...careers, gaming, programming, working with computers in the
office...etc.

I can confidently tell you that my principal will support this
idea...he's just that kinda guy!

Kent.
