7 books for teachers of computing and ICT

July 25, 2016

Here are 7 book reviews, inspired by "micro" flash fiction. Flash fiction is the term used for very short stories, typically under 1,000 words. There is a sub-branch of flash fiction called nano fiction: stories that are no more than 55 words in length, and another type of story that consists of only 6 words. I've decided to call that "micro" fiction.

So these reviews are just 6 words long. 

What's yours is mine

"Sharing" economy? Well-researched. Disturbing. Read!

Is The computing Curriculum Too Masculine? Revisited 16 years later!

One of the apparently insoluble problems of the age is how do you encourage more girls to take up Computing? I think a lot can be done, and have done so myself, but I wonder how far a lot of the effort fails to get to the heart of the issue, which could be the curriculum itself, the way it is taught, or a combination of the two?
