In this lesson you will learn that the Internet has its own unique vocabulary. Part of media literacy is knowing how to use the correct vocabulary when referring technology. Using correct vocabulary tells people you are smart and informed.

Activity 1

Find an definition on the Internet for each of these words and paste it next to the word.

Example:

When you get to the table below - click on Submit Assignment on the top right side of the page. Then choose either: Text Entry, Google Doc or File Upload

If you choose Text Entry - you will get a Wiki page that will allow you to create your own table. You should create the table with 2 columns and 28 rows. The column tool in the Wiki page is on the toolbar. It looks like graph paper with a pencil over it. Once you create the table you will be able to add text on the left side (like the example above) and pictures on the right (like the example above). You can also copy and paste the table in the assignment into the Wiki page.

If you choose Google Doc - you will have to give the document a title: Computer Terms Assignment (add your student ID). You can then create a table in Google Docs just like you would if you were making the assignment in a Wiki (above).

If you choose File Upload, you can do the entire assignment in Notability. When you are finished. You can upload the file to Canvas.

What's the easiest way to do this? Choose Text Entry and do everything in Canvas or File Upload and do the assignment in Notability, then upload to Canvas.
