Hello, young learners! Welcome back to Primary 1 Basic Science and Technology, Computer Studies. In our previous lesson, we learned about Common I.T Devices. Today, we’re going to learn about Common I.T Devices, specifically the Pager.
Objectives
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
- Identify and list 2 uses of a pager.
Common I.T Devices – Pager
A pager is a small electronic device that can display short messages. It is used for sending and receiving messages over short distances. Pagers are portable and convenient for quick communication.
Uses of a Pager
Some of the uses of a pager include:
- Emergency Services: Pagers are used by emergency services personnel, such as doctors, nurses, and firefighters, to receive urgent calls and notifications.
- Security Personnel: Security guards and other security personnel use pagers to receive alerts and instructions.
- Businesses: Businesses may use pagers to communicate with employees who are on the move or in areas without reliable phone service.
Evaluation Questions
Now that you’ve learned about the pager, let’s see if you can answer these questions:
- What is a pager?
- List two uses of a pager.
- What are some other common I.T devices you know?
- How do you think pagers are different from smartphones?
Conclusion
Today, we learned about the pager, a small electronic device used for quick communication. Remember, pagers are still used in some situations, especially where quick and reliable communication is essential. Keep exploring and learning about different I.T devices! See you in the next lesson!
