Peripherals Presentation By: Jaime Julis and Stephanie Gisriel
Pixie Warm-Up *Login to your Wikispace, click on the Peripheral tab and open the link under warm-up OR type in the following link in your browser: http://hossummer2012.wikispaces.com/peripherals * Save the pixie document to your H drive and minimize when completed. YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES!
Peripherals- Objectives • We will be able to identify • What a peripheral is • Examples of Input and Output Peripherals • How peripherals communicate to the computer • Components of a workstation • The pros and cons of different types of printers • Different types of keyboards, monitors, and mice.
What is a Peripheral? • Any external device that provides input and output for the computer. Not part of the essential computer. • For example, a keyboard and mouse are input peripherals, while a monitor and printer are output peripherals. Sometimes called "I/O devices" because they provide input and output for the computer.
Input Vs. Output • Input- An input device is a peripheral used to transfer data from the outside world into a computer system.In other words, it is any machine that feeds data into a computer. Output- An output device is any peripheral that is connected to a computer and used to transfer data out of the computer in the form of text, images, sounds or other media to a display screen, printer, loudspeaker, or storage device.
Examples of Common Peripherals Digitizes Documents
Go Over Warm- Up as a Class • Open up your Pixie document. • Once you place a peripheral term in the correct column pass the mouse to your neighbor.
The Amazing Race for Peripherals!Plus a 2 Minute Stretch! • Walk around the room and identify as many peripherals as you can. • Each group will receive a different color post it note. Place this post it on any peripheral device you see around the room. • Each peripheral may NOT have more than one post it. • The group with the most amount of post its receives a reward! READY……….SET……GO!!!!
Communication • When a device is connected into a computer, the computer finds the hardware/software and recognizes it as part of the computer. You are then able to access the device. It then transfers data into the computer or relays information out. (Input / Output)
Workstation YOU TELL US!
Workstation • Desk or Table Top • Chair ( correct height, support and position) • Easy to View Lighting • No Loose Cables • Controlled Temperature • Monitor • Keyboard • Mouse • Printer • Speakers • Microphone • Webcam • Headphones
Popular Printer Manufacturers • HP • Lexmark • Brother • EPSON
Monitor LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) - more expensive than CRT's - introduce the problem of viewing angles - display is far superior than the CRT monitor - compact CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) - bigger and bulkier than an LCD. - consume more power and prone to screen flicker
Keyboard • Wired- The PS/2 and USB are the two wired connections that connect the keyboards to your desktop computers.* • Virtual- The virtual keyboards are not actually physical keyboards, but they are simulated using a software. Usually, they are used in the PDA. • Wireless- The three basic types of wireless keyboards are bluetooth, infrared, and radio frequency
Mice Mechanical: The ORIGINAL mouse. Houses a hard rubber ball that rolls as the mouse is moved. Sensors inside the mouse body detect the movement and translate it into information that the computer interprets. Optical: use lasers to track the mouse's movement in relation to the surface it passes over without the use of a ball. Infrared (IR) or radio frequency cordless mouse: With both these types, the mouse relays a signal to a base station wired to the computer's mouse port. The cordless mouse requires power, which comes in the form of batteries. Trackball: Essentially used as an upside-down mouse, users rotate an enlarged ball that is tracked by sensors.
Exit Ticket • We have broken the class into four groups. • Each group will be assigned a question. • You must work with your group members to record your answers using the flip cam. • Then, upload your short film to the computer. Save it to the desktop. • Access our Wikispace under the tab titled Flip Cam Answers(Peripherals) • Edit the page, click on file, and upload video.
Wikispace Please use our Wikispace as a helpful study guide for our summative assessment.
