This week's word of the week is TECHNOLOGY.
Technology is:
-something that makes your life easier
-helps us solve problems
-extends our abilities to do things
Think of life around you: what are examples of technology? What technology do you use everyday?
- at HOME: microwave, refrigerator, computer, cell phone, alarm clock, electric toothbrush
- at SCHOOL: SmartBoards, laptops, printers, scanners
- DON'T FORGET: Technology doesn't have to be electronic! Papers, pens, pencils, binders, and notebooks are examples of technology too!!
- on the FOOTBALL FIELD: shoelaces, helmets, scoreboards
The list of technologies in your life is endless!
TRY IT AT HOME: Try to see how much technology you use in your life. Do you think you could life without it? Do you depend on technology too much in your life? What technologies do you use that your grandparents did not use when they were your age?
