The provided resource will help first graders troubleshoot when experiencing technical difficulties prior to asking the teacher for help. Print the following document(s) on cardstock. There are three options 1. Print like a bookmark and fold in half. Glue the two sides together. The student will have to flip from front to back to see the problem and troubleshooting tips. 2. Print half sheet for students to see all the problems and troubleshooting tips at one time. 3. Print a class size to display in the computer center or on a wall near student desks. You can use colors if it will help students better locate the item when they need help. The context is very simple as it is meant for younger students that may not be able to read all the terminology at the beginning of the school year. Please feel free to MAKE A COPY and then modify the context to better fit your classroom needs. The teacher will need to review the document and symbols with the students prior to distributing individual copies. This will ensure better understanding of the terms used.
