"A Gendered World: Students and Instructional Technologies"

Somehow I missed this when it came out, but earlier this year, these folks at the University of York (in Canada) did a study on gender and its influence on the use (or non-use) of instructional technology. (Because the author of this site is secretly a 6th-grader at heart, she must confess that she chuckled at the sentence "Kantrowitz (1996) notes: 'Focusing on the tool itself' is a male tendency and 'focusing on the utility of the tool' is a female tendency." Please forgive her.)
