Objectives and Outcomes Learning Objective: Understand the differences between input and output devices and recognise where sensors are used in everyday objects. Learning Outcomes: GOOD: Identify whether each device is an input or output and briefly explain its function. BETTER: Accurately describe the functionality of each device. BEST: Identify and explain how sensors are used in everyday items.
