Explanation
Technology means machines that help us. We call people with a cell phone. We type with a keyboard. We click with a mouse. We take photos with a camera. We play a video game for fun. We use the internet to find things out and to talk to family far away. Be safe: ask a grown-up before you go online, and never share your password.
Worked examples
Hoda
Dad, I use the computer for my homework.
Dad
Good. And how do we talk to Grandma in Alexandria?

Yes. But always ask me first.

Listen and say. Point to the picture when there is one.
Omar has a cell phone and a tablet at home. He uses the keyboard to write his name. He takes a photo of a bird with the camera. After one hour he stops and goes to play outside.
