**Assignment - Introduction to Technology**

 * 1)  Watch the videos clips at ** Introduction to Technology ** to define the terms.
 * 2) Each of the groups of terms are part of a system. View the explanation and definition of a system on Prezi.
 * 3) Diagram using Tux Paint. Label, so the system or concept/main idea is clear.
 * 4) Import the Tux Paint image to here.
 * 5) Create an animation using Scratch to explain the group of terms. (Not yet assigned)
