Description

In this unit pupils will explore digital devices, with an initial focus on inputs, processes, and outputs. Pupils will be introduced to computer networks, including devices that make up a network infrastructure and the benefits of connecting devices in a network.

Having explored what Information Technology is and its many uses, this unit looks at how networks extend the usefulness of digital devices. Pupils examine how devices operate and how people use them to meet their needs. They are introduced to the basics of computer networks and key devices such as switches and wireless access points to build an understanding of what IT networks are and how they connect systems in local areas and across the world.
