Now we are planning for the next phase. <BR/><BR/>I will be interested in hearing how yours goes.<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>OreOrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10230896381942258816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14973093.post-1163804510313935682006-11-18T00:01:00.000+01:002006-11-18T00:01:00.000+01:00Great idea, how has the project progressed?

The idea of encouraging girls to blog is not just about encouraging them to read and write more, but also to experiment with a relatively accessible technology. If their interest is sufficiently piqued, who knows where it might lead?<BR/><BR/>I would ultimately like to do something for all young people though.Orehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10230896381942258816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14973093.post-1144181039776751562006-04-04T21:03:00.000+01:002006-04-04T21:03:00.000+01:00Gender Disparity in blogging?

I just wish it was open to young males too. I worry that we [as a civilization] are further promoting the "Women to the Arts, Men to the Sciences" idea. I wouls love to read more men writing just because. <BR/><BR/>Peacetorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15145731253118052576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14973093.post-1142703796228751332006-03-18T18:43:00.000+01:002006-03-18T18:43:00.000+01:00Oh, we definitely will!

In this increasingly digital world, it's important to start developing cyber-savviness at a younger age and that will hopefully be one of this project's outcomes.
