<DIV>Hi All,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Has any one got any strategies that have worked to turn around the gender imbalance in selecting ICT electives in middle years?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would be particularly interested in knowing how you pitched your elective to make it attractive to girls.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also, is ICT compulsory in years 7 & 8 at your school? Do you believe that contributed to better participation from girls in higher years?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>(I have been a subscriber since May, but his is my first post. Many thanks for the interesting conversations I have observed this year.)</DIV>
