Is Technology Just for Boys?

In order to get more young ladies represented in the technology field we need to we need to get them over being afraid of technology. We also need to show them computer careers are not isolationg.

To become more comfortable the user of technology needs to be more fluent. To do this the user needs to be able to use technology proactively, understand the design issues, and to be able to interpret the information available.

Both genders will become more comfortable if the school curriculum is flexible so all will make the technology their own in their own way.

Technology is for all and it is up to us as educators to make bothe ladies and gentlemen comfortable in the use of technology.
