keys that let it do special things a typewriter can’t.

keys grouped together in a square. These keys have two

When the number lock key isn’t pressed, these keys control the
movement of the cursor.
KEYBOARD

cursor moves one space to the right on the
computer screen.
KEYBOARD

KEYBOARD
• Text Editing Keys: Located next to the numeric keypad, there are six
text editing keys. These keys are designed to be used in Word
Processing programs. They allow you to move quickly around a
screen when you are writing a letter or story. They are very useful
when you want to fix a spelling mistake, add a sentence to your
work, or just move to another page.
KEYBOARD
• Direction Keys: The flashing light on the computer screen
is called the cursor. This cursor can be moved up and
down or left and right by pressing the 4 keys that have
arrows on them. These arrow keys are called cursor keys.
KEYBOARD
The Function Keys:
• Most computer keyboards have between 10 and 12 function keys.
• Fast ways to give the computer special instructions.
• For example,
F1 – Help , F2 – Rename, F3 – Search…..
KEYBOARD
Esc Key:
• To come out of an immediate order.
Eg: ignore a pop up while working
The Mouse
Nope, it’s not a rodent!
• It’s another input device. It’s called a mouse because of it’s
shape and the way the cable attaching it to the computer looks
a bit like a tail. It is invented by scientist Douglas Engelbart
using piece of wood.
•There are two kinds of mice. Some use a roller ball that
allows the mouse to roll around a flat surface. When you do
that and look up at the screen, you’ll see a small moving arrow.
This arrow is called the pointer.
A laser mouse doesn’t have a roller ball. It
uses a laser light that makes the pointer
move. Laser mice don’t have to have their
insides cleaned!
