(information sheets)

III. Procedure:
A. PRELIMINARY ACTIVITIES
A.1 Prayer
A.2 Greetings
A.3 Classroom management
A.4 Checking of attendance
A.5 Review of past lesson (The teacher will call student/s to recap the lesson.)

B. ACTIVITY

1. Prepare/Open a Word Processing Application (e.g. MS Word or WordPad) in PC.

2. Show an images or photos to students using Multimedia Projector from different examples of Input Devices.
3. Let the students think an idea as regards to the photos they seen on the screen, and let them type/encode it on the computer
through Word Processing Application.

C. ANALYSIS

The teacher will collate the ideas of the students. Each of the student’s ideas will be connected through the following guide questions:

1. Have you seen this type of device already in real life? Where?
2. Have realize that during your typing/encoding activity, you use one the types of Input Devices? What is the name of that input
device? And how it was being classified or being consider as Input Device?

D. ABSTRACTION

With the use of PowerPoint presentation, the teacher will discuss WHAT IS INPUT DEVICES AND ITS EXAMPLES, and
SPECIALIZED INPUT DEVICES AND ITS EXAMPLES with descriptions and images examples provided.

What is INPUT DEVICE: is a hardware or peripheral device used to send data to a computer. An input device allows users to
communicate and feed instructions and data to computers for processing, display, storage and/or transmission.

Input devices allow you to get data into the computer. There was a time when the only way to get data into a computer was by
typing. Early computers only accepted numbers and text as input. As the types of data users wanted to input changed, so did input
devices. Modern computer users have a number of ways to input different types of data.

List of Basic Input Devices

Keyboard
Keyboards are the most familiar and commonly used computer input devices, as well as the earliest available for desktop computers.
Based a typewriter keyboard, they are used for the manual entry of alpha-numeric data.

Mice
Douglas Engelbart, a researcher at SRI, invented the mouse in the early 1960s. With the introduction of graphic user interfaces on PCs
in the 1980s, the mouse caught on as an input device. Mice allow you to control an on-screen pointer, called a cursor, which
commonly looks like an arrow. When the cursor is positioned over screen elements, you press buttons on the mouse to perform tasks.
Early mice had only one button, but modern mice have three or more.

Graphics Tablets
Tablets allow you to write or draw directly into the computer. Using a pen-like object called a stylus, you write on the tablet surface as
if it were a sheet of paper. Some tablets include buttons, allowing you to use them like mice. Newer tablets, and some computer
monitors, allow the use of fingers instead of a stylus.

Joysticks
Joysticks are most commonly used when playing games. Originally, they consisted of a single movable stick and a button or two,
allowing you to control a game character's movements. Modern joysticks group a number of sticks and buttons together, allowing you
to control complex movements with a couple of finger flicks.

Headsets
Headsets are a combination of an earphone and a microphone. Combined with voice-recognition software, headsets allow you to
dictate data and commands directly into other software programs on your computer. Using a headset means you can keep your hands
free for other tasks while using your computer.

Scanners
Scanners work much like photocopiers. You position the document you wish to copy on the scanner's surface, then activate it. A
digital image of the document is created that can be saved in the computer's memory. Scanned images must be viewed and edited in a
graphics program. If you wish to convert an image, such as a document, to text for manipulation in a word processor, you need optical
character recognition.

Cameras
Digital cameras are also computer input devices. They range from high-end digital SLR cameras to digital video cameras to
inexpensive webcams. Cameras are a fast way to get a lot of graphic information into a computer at one time.

Video Capture Hardware

Video capture hardware hooks up to your TV and allows you to copy TV programs directly into your computer, such as a digital video
recorder. Once stored, you can edit the video files just like your own home videos. Video capture requires a great deal of storage space
and a fast computer.

Specialized Input Devices

There are also input devices available for very specialized purposes (applications). You can get digital scientific equipment to hook up
to a computer, such as microscopes and telescope tracking controllers, for example. One company is even marketing a headset that
claims to convert brainwaves into digital signals.

 BARCODE READER – (also called “Bar code scanner”) – is an electronic device that can read and output printed barcodes
to a computer.
 REMOTE CONTROL -
 SECURITY DEVICES (example: Biometric Scanner which uses fingerprint to detect identity)
 Touch Display Screen – Touch Screen is a computer display that serves as an input device. When Touch Screen is touched by
a finger or stylus, it registers the event and sends it to a controller for processing.
 Virtual Devices – refers to a device file that has no associated hardware. It also mimics a physical hardware device when, in
fact, it exist only in software form. Therefore, it makes the system believe that a particular hardware exists when it really
does not.

E. APPLICATION

Enumerate the Basic and Specialized Input Devices according its types and purpose using a tree diagram.
