Why Women & Computers?

It is really important that women realize we need to more competent in technology. Technology is the future and we need to be equal with our male counterparts if we are going to suceed in the business world together.

In my future profession as a social worker, I will need to utilize a lot of technology and this class has helped me learn how to make clickable links, edit/take notes on presentations and publish projects online.

It is up to us that we provide the younger generation of women and girls with the tools to make it in the world. It is important that the digital divide as it relates to gender be recongized so we can catch it early enough so that tomorrow's girls and women will be equally intelligent in the means of computer and technology advancement.

What I Learned from Presentations on Women's Contributions


Many people chose Caterina Fake to do there presentation on. In 2009, she co-founded Hunch which is a system that uses collective intelligence to make suggestions based on user's interesters. She is most well-known as the creator of Flickr. Flickr was founded in 2004 and is one of the most popular photo sharing websites. I enjoyed the presentations by Amy, Tanya, and Becky.

Women's Contribution Project: Beth Kanter


Beth Kanter has one of the longest running and most popular blogs for nonprofits. She is famous for her use of social media to improve non-profit organizations in the fields of technology, training, capacity building, fundraising and marketing. She has worked in the non-profit sector for 25 years. She was named "One of the Most Influential Women in Technology" by Busniess Week.

She co-created Zoetica, which is a website that serves non-profits and socially conscious companies by word-of-mouth communication services. What is unique about this website is that the results of how well you are reaching your audiance are measurable. If the goal that you wanted was not attained, changes can be made to how your social media is structured and hopefully your mission statement will work better.

Here is a link to my Women's Contribution Project about Beth Kanter.
