E. Lesson Proper
1. Pre-Activity
Pre-Test:
The teacher will post a tarpapel on the board containing the unlabeled keyboard.
Direction: Enumerate all the parts of the Keyboard.

Whoever got lots of right answer will receive a prize after the lesson.
2. Activity Proper

are pressing the keys it is not a physical
keyboard like one on a laptop or a desktop. The
above gadget project a full QWERTY keyboard.
It is only suitable on a flat non-reflective where
the user can be able to press the virtual keys
projected. The device has an infrared light diode
at the bottom which produces a light parallel to
the surface.

Other types of computer keyboards include:

 Wireless keyboards: this is a keyboard that doesn’t need a cable connector
to link to the computer.

 Ergonomic keyboards: they are designed in such a way as to reduce body

strain when typing.
 Backlit keyboards: mostly used in laptops and they display light under the
keys. They can be used when in a low-light room.

 Gaming keyboards: they are designed for gaming, and they respond to
keystrokes faster than other types of computer keyboards

folded. They are easy to move with

 Multimedia keyboards: they are normal keyboards but with extra buttons
to control media such as video. They have a volume control, pause, end, next
button, etc.
