Bett2020: Story-telling with Dipongo

February 6, 2020

In the Dipongo app children choose a story to follow. There comes a point at which the story stops, and confronts the child with a challenge. Then it's up to him or her to come up with a solution through drawing, say. That's incorporated into the story, which continues. Interesting!

I am currently experimenting with writing articles of exactly 50 words in length. This is one of them.

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?
