Blogger, by Terry Freedman

Blogging is not dead!

October 28, 2024

There is still a great interest in writing blogs. One of the reasons I know this is that my course on blogging currently has twelve sign-ups. That may not sound a lot, but many courses at the City Lit have far fewer.

Interestingly, every time I run the course there are more women than men on it. Indeed, sometimes there are no men at all. On the next one, there are currently eight women and four men. I’ve never really got to the bottom of why that might be, except that maybe women like expressing their thoughts and men prefer to grunt. And how’s that for stereotyping?!

Here are the course details in case you’re interested in enrolling:

Writing for blogs Online, 15th and 22nd November, 6pm-8:30pm GMT.

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?
