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

How do we kick-start girls’ involvement with technology? In this dynamic book, Lesley Farmer provides a framework that teachers, librarians, youth workers, and parents can use to empower girls to succeed in today’s technology-rich world. Farmer first examines the disconnect many girls have with technology and then shows adults what they can do to change the current environment. 
Drawing on the work of experts in psychology, sociology, technology, and education, the book highlights school and after-school programs that have instilled confidence in teen girls and, as a result, increased their interest in technology-based careers. It also describes fun learning activities designed specifically for girls that are based on their developmental needs and interests. Activity topics include…

Pedagogy and andragogy are often treated as separate fields, despite their similarities and shared goal of stimulating learning in individuals to the fullest degree possible.
Pedagogical and Andragogical Teaching and Learning with Information Communication Technologies displays that teachers can further their art by considering both pedagogy and andragogy in light of the each other, specifically in the modern classroom. Information Communication Technologies are ubiquitous in today's learning institutions and this book provides an important platform for the furthering of the modern instructional paradigm. To truly advance into future possibilities opened by technology, teachers are required to allow for learning without the constraints of traditional attitudes toward time, space, age and experience. This book shows how to blend and learn from the revolution taking place in educational institutions across the world.
