Technology Vocabulary Cards

Like all subjects technology skills come with a certain amount of vocabulary that students need to understand in order to complete assignments. These vocabulary cards give kid-friendly definitions and color pictures for 56 different technology terms. These cards can be laminated and hung on a bulletin board, or placed on an O-ring at the computer to help guide students through technology directions. This coordinates with my Technology Vocabulary Presentation.
