Fair Play: Achieving Gender Equity In The Digital Age (57 Min.)
This program exposes counterproductive classroom behaviors and presents measures being taken to correct the misperception that computing is a males-only domain. The Director of the Center for Gender Equity, the author of SchoolGirls, the creators of girltech.com and chickclick.com, and others scrutinize issues including equal computer access in the classroom, attitude barriers both in class and out, and efforts to develop software and Web sites that enfranchise female users rather than reinforce gender stereotypes.

Virtual Equality: The Information Revolution and the Inner City. (57 Min.)
"Every child in America deserves a chance to participate in the Information Revolution," says President Clinton. But first, the inner-city technology ghetto must be eliminated. In this program, representatives of groups such as the National Urban League, ASPIRA, the East Harlem Tutorial Program, the Technology Access Foundation, and the Urban Technology Center examine the urgent need for technology-centered education through home computer access, community technology centers, and schools—properly funded and staffed. They also assess the use of computers as tools for higher learning rather than merely as drillmasters.
