How we are going to see and hear the data and information created and stored in your computer. Hence, we need output devices!
Task
Technology is everywhere; it makes work easier and learning fun. As grade 9 students it is very important that you are aware of the various ways in which the computer produces information to humans.
This web quest is designed to assist you in knowing the various ways in which the computer produces information. By the end of this lesson you should be able to:1. Define the term output devices2. List and explain the types of output devices3. Discuss the importance of out put devices.You will gather these information from the notes, videos, pictures and activities given in this web quest. At the end of the lesson you will be expected to form groups of four wherein you will create a reflective journal on the three objectives stated above. Please be as creative as possible. (The use of pictures is highly recommended).
