Identify and explore a range of digital systems with peripheral devices for different purposes, and transmit different types of data

Elaborations

• using different peripheral devices to display information to others, for example using a mobile device, interactive whiteboard or a data projector to present information (Skills: Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Capability, Critical and Creative Thinking)
• using specific peripheral devices to capture different types of data, for example using a digital microscope to capture images of living and non-living things (Skills: Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Capability, Critical and Creative Thinking)
• experimenting with different types of digital system components and peripheral devices to perform input, output and storage functions, for example a keyboard, stylus, touch screen, switch scan device or joystick to input instructions; a monitor, printer or tablet to display information; a USB flash drive and external hard drive as storage peripheral devices (Skills: Literacy, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Capability, Critical and Creative Thinking)
• recognising that images and music can be transferred from a mobile device to a computer, for example using a cable to connect a camera and computer to upload images for a photo story (Skills: Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Capability, Critical and Creative Thinking)
