Neil Anderson has succeeded in raising awareness of equity issues surrounding the use of ICT (information technology as a subject of study, rather than IT, a tool) in education and more generally. The first part deals with gender biases towards or against ICT, perceived and real, and is an engaging read which all trainee secondary (high) school teachers specialising in teaching ICT should consider mandatory. That many girls are not opting for further education and careers in the subject should be a cause for concern for workforce planners and careers advisers alike.
