Parts of a Computer : Keyboard Practice

Using an input device : the keyboard

The keyboard is a part of a computer which helps us to type words.

It is an input device because we are feeding information to the computer.

Learning Outcome : Play Construct a Monster on Digipuzzle, typing as many words as possible so that the student can make a monster

Skills : Typing and Keyboard, using letters, backspace and enter keys.

The Big Picture

What have we done? We have already been playing Type and Learn on Digipuzzle

Where are we going? We will recognise other parts of a computer, input and output, storage and processing devices.

Why Construct a Monster?

Because the student gets an opportunity to use 2 types of input device, a keyboard and a mouse.

How to play: Type the word that appears, e.g. start. Press Enter.

Each correct word will light up a star

3 lit stars will light up a part of a monster

Use the mouse to construct the monster
