Essential Questions How do computers help people solve problems? How do people and computers approach problems differently? What does a computer need from people in order to solve problems effectively?

Lesson Objectives Students will be able to: Identify the inputs and outputs of common computing devices Select the inputs and outputs used to perform common computer tasks
