at how girls and boys play mathematical computer games in order to consider and
describe what makes a good mathematical and equitable computer game. Also

playing interacting with games, and suggested web links and print resources.
Topics include:
* gender and technology, mathematics, and play
* technology in the education and in the classroom
* technology and popular culture, "games for girls"
* advice on choosing software, links to reviewers and sellers
