Tech Savvy: Educating Girls in the New Computer Age A report by the American Association of University Women URL:

Abstract Focus: Girls Tech Savvy: Educating Girls in the New Computer Age is the culmination of two years of work by the AAUW Educational Foundation Commission onTechnology, Gender, and Teacher Education. Published in 2000, the Commission on Technology, Gender, and Teacher Education. Published in 2000, the report finds that girls are not computer- phobic, but have different preferences than boys in the way computers are used. For example, girls find programming classes tedious and dull, computer games too boring, redundant, and violent, and computer career options uninspiring. They prefer games that feature simulation, strategy, and interaction rather than violence and repetition. As the report recommends, “We have to think less about 'girls' games' and 'boys' games' and more about games that challenge our children's minds. When it comes to computer games and software, girls want high-skill, not high-kill... Instead of trying to make girls fit into the existing computer culture, the computer culture must become more inviting for girls.”

Abstract Focus: Teachers The AAUW Tech Savvy: Educating Girls in the New Computer Age report has findings and recommendations for educators. The AAUW Tech Savvy: Educating Girls in the New Computer Age report has findings and recommendations for educators. Educators in K-12, “... three-fourths of whom are women, critique the quality of educational software; the ‘disconnect’ between the worlds of the curriculum, classroom needs, and school district expectations; and the dearth of adequate professional development and timely technical assistance.” The report recommendations include abandoning the “drive-by” approach to teacher training which emphasizes the technical properties of hardware in favor of innovative ways of using computers in each subject area: “Teachers need opportunities to design instruction that takes advantage of technology across all disciplines. Computing ought to be infused into the curriculum and subject areas that teachers care about in ways that promote critical thinking and lifelong learning. “

Resource: Tech Savvy Girls Video Tech Savvy: Educating Girls in the New Computer Age Tech Savvy Girls is a video produced as a collaborative effort between the AAUW and Fairfax Network which is run by Fairfax Country Public Schools in Virginia.
