Tech+Talk

Labels/signs Not a separate lesson, but terminology could be introduced at the beginning of the year, and then teachers could just be sure to use the correct terminology when talking about computers with students. Ie...say "mouse" instead of "clicker"; say "monitor" instead of "screen". This could also be extended to flashcard type activities in introductory lessons.
