Actually, during training I’m sharing my knowledge about technology use because I have got into technology because of necessity in my work and because using technology in radio is a cheap and easy way of get out to media.
I’m convinced that the use of new technologies at present is a fundamental
element on women empowerment. for me, being a trainer on technologies is a possibility to share knowledge and experience to improve living standards and political participation of women.
First, for me, being a feminist-technologist-trainer have to be with my
positions of women use those tools humanity have created to have a better life.
In other words, women have the right to approach the tools, “Fierro” material or “hard” as we might call those media that bring us closer to the Internet: PC’s, laptops, cell phones, etc.. because technology has been part of the civilization of human beings since immemorial time and women are half of those humans.
New technologies are now an essential part of the educational processes and must include women in those processes. So, as trainer I encourage women to use technologies as they are a part of our reality.
I can not avoid the inclusion of the cultural contexts of women’s access to ICT.
Also the inclusion of our humanity: feelings and knowledge in the use of modern technologies.
In addition, I think that during the training it is necessary to incorporate an analysis of:
1) The role of ourselves in a symbolic building of our being within the www.
2) The power we generate or we recreated when we access to new technologies.
