| Strand: Introduction To Computing | Sub-strand: Storage Systems |
| Indicator: B8.1.1.1.4 Describe storage devices | Content Standard: B8.1.1.1. Identify parts a computer and technology tools |
| Performance Indicator: Learners can describe storage devices | T.L.R.(s): USB flash drive, Hard disk drive, Memory card |
Phase 1: Starterpreparing the brain for learning phase1_starter (5mins) Revise with learners to review their understanding in the previous lesson. | Phase 2: Mainnew learning including assessment Concrete-resource task: Set out these resources for each group: USB flash drive; Hard disk drive; Memory card. Learners inspect the hardware and printed examples, then operate or compare them during the computing task below. Main (35mins) Guide learners to revise on the terminologies used in storage systems. - Storage device- any mechanism capable of reading and writing information from and on a storage medium - Storage medium- any physical material capable of holding information either temporarily or permanently and at the same time information can be retrieved from it - Storage- holds items such as data, instruction and information - Memory- a place in storage media / devices where information is read, written, stored and retrieved by the CPU
Guide learners to discuss the main storage devices of a computer and give examples. - Primary Storage Memory and Secondary Storage Memory
Have learners’ research and discuss the Flash Memory Storage Systems. Flash memory is an electronic non-volatile computer memory storage medium that can be electronically erased and reprogrammed. | Phase 3plenary / reflections Reflection (10mins) Use peer discussion and effective questioning to find out from learners what they have learnt during the lesson. |
