[gender and literacy]

Sure women and men are different and sure our brains work differently but I didn't realise how drastically different. In a presentation on boys' writing and ict that I found at the Nottinghamshire Primary ICT Framework site there is a really interesting image of a girl's brain *at rest* and a boy's brain *at rest*:



"In the resting female brain, we find just as much neural activity as in the male brain that is solving problems."
