| Strand: Introduction to computing | Sub-strand: Components of Computer |
| Indicator: B7.1.1.1.3. Examine the uses of the output devices: | Content Standard: B7.1.1.1. Examine the parts of a computer |
| Performance Indicator: Learning how to identify and use output devices, Learning how to identify and use storage devices | T.L.R.(s): Computer monitor, Printer, Printed photographs of wearable displays |
Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning Using questions and answers, find out what learners already know about output devices.
Share with learners the performance indicators. | Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment Concrete-resource task: Set out these resources for each group: Computer monitor; Printer; Printed photographs of wearable displays. Learners inspect the hardware and printed examples, then operate or compare them during the computing task below.
Engage learners to study printed photographs of output devices in use.
Guide learners to demonstrate the use of output devices in a computer laboratory or classroom.
Let learners explore the advantages and disadvantages of output devices. | Phase 3plenary / reflections Reflection (10 mins) Use peer discussion and effective questioning to find out from learners what they have learnt during the lesson.
Take feedback from learners and summarize the lesson.
Ask learners in turns to demonstrate the use of output devices. |
