Albert Room 208

28 20 Ken Ken Newman Lecturer in Multimedia

Griffith University

Yes Yes all computers must have Internet Explorer, speakers (1), Flash and shockwave browser plugins installed and the QuickTime player.

Since 2002 I have been investigating online communities - the way they are evolving, social issues, and the systems that support online activity.

We will talk about issues of anonymity, inhibition, trust, and rules. I will describe the ComeRideWithMe project and introduce the gilrs to Albert the film-making teddybear. The girls will then jump on the computers and go to an online virtual community at HabboHotel.com and explore it for about 10 minutes. Finish by summarizing some strengths and weaknesses of online communities.

MC’s Speech NotesGood evening everyone. My name is Sarah Tezla and I am a school captain at Nyanda State High School.

Thank you all for coming here this evening to the Brisbane and Ipswich GIDGITS Girls and ICTs event.

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are one of the essential tools for learning and living in the 21st Century. Yet only 15 to 20 per cent of people in ICTs careers and studies are women. Several years ago, I joined a girls and ICTs group at my school called Techno G. Techno G is group of girls who meet every Tuesday afternoon to do fun and exciting projects that benefit others, especially girls, in the ICT industry. <<Powerpoint: Techno G>>

Before I joined Techno G, I never realised how fun and inspirational using ICTs for learning could be.

Today, many groups just like Techno G, exist in schools throughout Queensland.<<Powerpoint: Other schools>>

I would like to thank the Department of State Development and Innovation for funding this GIDGITS event and other events like it throughout Queensland.

GIDGITS is a state-wide society started in Queensland so that girls can network with other girls interested in ICTs.

<<Powerpoint: GIDGITS website>>

Our evening will be divided into 3 sessions. In our first session, you will hear from young women who work and study in the ICT industry and have the opportunity to interact with them, you will witness an exciting ICT demonstration and you will hear about some girls and ICTs initiatives that you can be a part of.

In our second session, the girls will go and do a fun ICT activity while the adults will hear from and interact with women representing a variety of different ICT pathways.

In our final session, the girls and adults will be escorted to the foyer of the School of Information Technology & Electrical Engineering building where supper will be available and door prizes will be drawn.

Each of you should have been given a ticket (wave ticket) on your way in. Make sure you keep this with you until the end. You will need your ticket to claim your prize.

Now, you will hear from young women who work or study ICTs. Each one will speak for 3 minutes. After four people have spoken, you will have the opportunity to ask these young women your questions.
