Computer Hardware Students should know about the different types of computer hardware required for a variety of computer systems. This should lead into Students developing their understanding of their benefits, limitations and uses. Unit Content Input devices Output devices Communications devices Benefits (e.g. integrated devices make portable devices simpler to use) Limitations (e.g. voice recognition performs poorly in noisy environments) Uses (e.g. membrane keyboard could be used in harsh physical environments) Computer Components Students should know about the component parts of a computer system and their characteristics. This should lead into Students developing their understanding of the purpose of each component. Unit Content Processors Motherboards Storage (i.e. hard drive, solid state, flash, internal, removable, SAS, SCSI, portable, Cloud) Ports (i.e. USB, Firewire, SATA, Network, Fibre Channel) Memory (i.e. RAM, ROM, cache) Expansion cards (i.e. sound, network, graphics, ______
