Hi Meryl here I really like what you have found Kristy. I tried to upload my images document for all to see but am having trouble. Now there is two unusual links appearing on the page being the Yahoo positives and negatives and the daily mail ban 'him and 'her' (I don't know where these came from???) Can you please tell me how to upload a word document onto the page. Thanks

Hi Merryl - Kristy here. The only thing I couldn't get to work was the Yahoo positives and negatives - so I will try to print this out - that is if I can find it again. I will bring in my lap top and we can get started on this. We can print out all the info and see what we have gathered to work with!

hi again, Husbands can be handy sometimes! Finally got the jist of uploading documents to the Wiki. Here are some images I found. I particularly like the first image! Here is a document I found from Early Childhood Australia that outlines strategies for promoting gender equity in child care. [|Early Childhood Australia]

====** Hey girls, Amy here...I am really sorry i haven't been at the lectures last week but it is just a bit crazy at the moment. I will try my hardest to make it to the meeting tomorrow. I have a couple of pictures and info but am not sure how to upload them, when i work it out i will do so :-). **====

Well done with the uploading! Clever! Gender equity is an interesting topic and opens lots of opportuities for your presentation. Using blue and pink, stereotyped toys and resources, assumptions from the teacher about gender activities eg boys in the sandpit, girls drawing. A good topic to bring to people's attention.

Hey girls Krissi here, Amy and I have finished our effigy's and will put them on the correct butchers paper for next week. If you have any ideas to add to them please let us know. We have done past, present and future for males and females. Also we have started the rationale, getting good information and quotes that we would like to use. I was thinking that for our entering role play we should have two children come into the room and access a dress up box we have created then the boy dress in a princess costume and thegirl in a workers outfit. Then have a parent/kristy the truck driver, come to say that the boy should not be dressed like that as that is the girls job. What do you think?? PLUS! We have created a list of things that we could have as props and on our table...how are you all going??

==== **Great Krissi! I think that the role play will be a really great way to engage the lecture and have everyone understand exactly where we are coming from. We have to remember that we are focusing on Early Childhood gender issues too...which is hard! We also thought that on our props table we could maybe have a video or a gender bias situation and maybe a neutral situation. How are you girls going with the challenges?? We wil have images in our effigy's as well so that covers some of the images aspect. We also thought that in our effigys and presentation we could talk a little about the different curriculum documents that have come out and if they have anything relating to gender bias/stereotype issues...??** ====

Hi there, did some shopping for supplies today for our presentation. Tried to ring Kristy today but no answer so left a message for her to call me so I can update her on what she needs to do now. I feel that Kristy and I will need to meet to go over the challenges part of the presentation. Anyway I will try and get in touch over the weekend. Talk again soon.

Hi Ladies, Meryl sounds like from our phone conversation the bookmarks arer great, could you bring one in tomorrow to share? :-)) I believe we are all one track, I am going to do up a banner with " WHAT IS GENDER" ? what do you all think? will discuss this with you tomorrow anyway.. cheers see you all at UNI!

Hi Meryl here. No problem about the bookmarks will bring in tomorrow. I have finished the Venn diagram as well. I will take a photo of it to show you. Met with Kristy yesterday and we have been busy working on the challenges. We are going to play off each other in the presentation. Will explain this to you tomorrow at Uni. We are meeting again today to do a poster with mainly pictures of addressing challenges. Sounds like we are all on track for a really good presentation :)

Hi again, sorry Krissy forgot to say the banner sounds great, see you tomorrow.
