This week we got into Unit 1 - Introduction to Technology. We had a group activity designed to allow students to demonstrate their prior knowledge of what technology is. It also allowed any misconceptions that students might have with regard to what technology is to be discussed and cleared up.
We discussed the definition of Technology, Science & Engineering as well as the relationship between them. Several key technology related vocabulary words were introduced. Other topics were: how long there has been technology, the 3 classifications of technology, 4 truths of technology, who creates technology and why, as well as what it means to be considered technologically literate.
This upcoming week we will have the Unit 1 Vocabulary Quiz. Day 1-2-3 students (Hopper, Edison, Ford, Bell) will take the Quiz on Tuesday (9/22) and day 4-5-6 students (Armstrong, Cooper, Jobs, Gates) will take the quiz on Thursday (9/24).
