Did you know that nearly three fifths of all undergraduate students enrolled in 2004 were women (57%). This is a trend that’s been knocked around for months, but I just ran across it from a kids’ site — a kids’ site maintained by the federal government.
The NCES Kids’ Zone provides information to help you learn about schools; decide on a college; find a public library; engage in several games, quizzes and skill building about math, probability, graphing, and mathematicians; and to learn many interesting facts about education.
NCES, of course, is the National Center for Education Statistics, and providing tools and games for kids does make a certain amount of sense here. I learned about this site from a Class Blogmeister mailing list message from that education web wizard and Aussie ed tech evangelist, Adrian Bruce, about how his son had used the graphing tool in Kids’ Zone to graph out the colors of M&Ms.
M&Ms in Oz. Now that is just too global! 😉
