Higher Education Word Walls

As important as technology is these days, many students still don't know common terminology as it relates to the computer, devices and technology in general. If you are looking for ways to incorporate more technology words into your classroom, these would be a great way to do so! There are every single letter from A to Z. Not only is there a ton of technology terms, they are all defined. If the term is for a computer short cut, I have listed the Mac keyboard shortcut. The product is focused on mac/apple computers with the images and terms. Cut them out and hang them as a word wall, all 26 letters of the alphabet are covered! This set contains 180+ technology terms & definitions (enough for one every single day for an ENTIRE school year). I have tried to put an image with most of them, but there are a few which do not have an image with them. You can also use these as a technology word wall, as there is at least one word for every letter of the alphabet! Each page contains 2 terms / definitions. The cards measure 10.4" wide by 3.9" tall.
