Input and Output Devices: Definition, Examples, and Activities for Grade 1

📖 Quick Study Guide: Input & Output for Grade 1

• 👉 Input devices are like our senses (eyes, ears) for the computer. They let us put information IN. Think of them as ways to 'talk' to the computer.
• 👀 Output devices are like the computer's mouth or hands. They show us information OUT. They are how the computer 'talks' back to us.
• ⌨️ Examples of Input: The Keyboard (for typing words and numbers), the Mouse (for clicking and moving things on the screen), and the Microphone (for talking to the computer).
• 🖼️ Examples of Output: The Monitor (where you see pictures and videos), the Printer (which puts your drawings on paper), and Speakers (so you can hear music and sounds).
• 🤔 Think of it like this: You give the computer instructions (input), and the computer shows you the results (output)!
