In this 3rd grade technology lesson, students will learn the importance of proper device handling and maintenance to ensure the longevity and functionality of their devices. The session begins with a discussion about how to safely interact with technology, emphasizing the significance of cleaning and protecting devices. Students will engage in a hands-on activity where they will practice cleaning their devices using microfiber cloths and approved screen cleaners, while also learning about safe storage practices.
Throughout the lesson, they will work in groups to create a “Cloud of Care,” compiling maintenance tips on sticky notes, fostering collaboration and critical thinking. The lesson concludes with a review of the key points discussed and a short quiz to assess their understanding of device care practices. To solidify their learning, students will have the opportunity to create a poster for homework, illustrating their favorite device maintenance tip, which they can share with their peers and families.
