Teens Girls and Technology: What's the Problem, What's the Solution?

by Lesley S.J. Farmer

How do we engage girls with technology and why is this important? Lesley Farmer examines how girls currently view and use technology, noting how uninformed they are as to technologys impact upon their futures. This dynamic book provides a framework that teachers, parents, and youth workers can use in motivating girls to both use and think about technology. Farmer shows us how to inspire teen girls with confidence and, in so doing, increase their interest in technology-based careers. Drawing upon the work of psychologists, sociologists, technologists, educators, and governmental agencies, the book highlights school- and community-based interventions that have successfully encouraged technology use among teenage girls.

As you can see, it's taking me some time to finish this book. I know I should read it, but I'm just not in the mood. Not the book's fault.
