Input Devices: [An input device is a peripheral (piece of computer hardware equiprent) used to provide data and control sig Processing systen such as a computer or other information appliance. Exanples of input devices include keyboards, mice, ‘ameras and joysticks. These are different Input devices used in computers such as Keyboard, Mouse, Trackball, Scanner, M 2. Output device An output device is any piece of computer hardware equipment used to communicate the results of data processing carried out by an information processing system (such as a computer) which converts the electronically generated information into human-readable form hitps:lkleducatororg%5CRole_of_ Computer_In_Educatont6SC 25ronero8 ‘Rote of Computer in Education - WikiEdueator Software Software:No hardware component can work without instructions which are fed in the form of programming, thus software is a set of programs written in different languages. These languages may be high level language, machine level language or assembly languages. In order to make computer work programmer should have knowledge of programming techniques. Role of computers in Education Computers have changed the way we work, be it any profession. Therefore, itis only natural that the role of computers in education has been given a lot of importance in recent years. Computers play a vital role in every field. They aid industrial processes, they find application in medicine; they are the reason why software industries developed and flourished and they play an important role in education.

Let's look at what role computer technology plays in the education sector Computers in Education Computer technology has had a deep impact on the education sector. Thanks to computers, imparting education has become easier and much more interesting than before. Owing to memory capacities of computers, large chunks of data can be stored in them. They enable quick processing of data with very less or no chances of errors in processing, Networked computers aid quick communication and enable web access. Storing documents on computers in the form of soft copies instead of hard ones, helps The advantages of computers in education primarily include: 1. Storage of information 2. Quick data processing 3. Audio-visual aids in teaching 4. Better presentation of information 5. Access to the Internet 6. Quick communication between students, teachers and parents hitps:lwikleducatororg%5CRole_of_ Computer 1 Edcaton"45C 35
