Review: Your Press Release is Breaking My Heart

August 5, 2020

I once worked in a school where the headteacher was so good at generating publicity for the school (and himself) that the local press were virtually in residence there. Nearly every week, the local paper featured a story about the school, complete with a photo of the headteacher and a group of students. (Indeed, on one occasion the reporter pulled me aside and asked: “Is there any chance of getting a photo without the headteacher in it?”)

Well, not all us are blessed with the knack of getting media people to take notice of what we’re doing, especially these days when there is so much “news” clamouring for everyone’s attention. This is where this book comes in: chatty, but full of good advice, this book has plenty to offer. I’ve written a full review of it on the Bee Digital website:

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?
