Input and Output Devices

Starter Activity: Input and OutputThink about the inputs and outputs of a washing machine:

•Input = dirty clothes, water, soap powder, electric•Output= dirty soapy water, clean clothes

What inputs and outputs will a dish washer and a fridge have?

Input and Output Devices

In this lesson you will learn the differences between computer input and output devices. You will group devices into inputs and outputs and watch a video about a smart house.

Lesson

Objectives

Be able to explain what input and output devices are Understand how inputs relate to outputs Be able to identify input and output devices Consider the uses of input and output devices

Input and Output Devices

Input DevicesInput devices are parts of a computer that allow the user to control and adjust an electronic device. For example: You move the mouse. As the mouse moves, the computer receives the information, which causes the pointer on the screen to move. The mouse is the input device.

Output DevicesOutput devices are the computers way of interacting with you. In paint, when you use your mouse to draw a line, that is input. When the computer receives the message, it displays the line that you drew on screen, that is the output. The monitor is the output device.
