Summary
Manor College of Technology, Hartlepool, demonstrates how it uses a range of techniques to encourage girls to engage with ICT, both as a subject and across other areas of the school.
Head of ICT, Yvonne Hill, runs a computer club for girls. She gives them a purpose for learning that encourages more girls to take the subject at GCSE.
In Key Stage 3, project-based lessons on theme parks and cartoons tap into girls' interests and teach crucial ICT skills such as research and animation.
Meanwhile, at GCSE level a recycling topic using podcasting increases collaboration and engages the girls, without putting off the boys.
Finally in geography, the creative use of technology encourages girls to take a different outlook on the benefits of different forms of ICT across the curriculum.

Without wanting to appear disresepectful, was this programme made five years ago. Schools have made fantastic advances in engaging all pupils in using really creative ICT tools across the curriculum. Maybe the producers of Teachers TV need to get out more, maybe visit some of the countries CLCs and see what they are doing to support schools.
hi all
I like all the programmes posted on teachers TV. They are so amazing to the extent that they have changed the way I teach to the best.
The problem I have in my teaching career is that I do not know how to integrate ICT into classroom.
PLeasse do help me with your suggestions.
