This slide presentation looks at technology from a different perspective. Most often we view technology as something that is digital, but in this lesson we discover that technology is anything made by man that can help us - including computers, cell phones, scissors, glue, etc.
Students will be asked to decipher between technological items and non-technological items through a cut and sort (optional handout - link provided in slides), they will go on a classroom scavenger hunt to locate technological items, and they will write sentences about how their found items help us (documentation handout also included in slides).
The slides provide teacher notes and links to resources used.

Have fun exploring technology in your room!

This is a writing prompt choice board intended to be used in a writing center or station. In my classroom we typically use one choice board per week. Students choose up to 4 items to complete for the week. I do 4 items to give students time to finish incomplete work on Fridays or to work on final drafts. You can make the rules for your classroom to best suit your teaching style and your student's needs.

The choice board includes 8 prompts and one Student Choice square based on Computing Systems for first grade.

Please feel free to make a copy of the choice board and edit it to meet your specifications.
