This resource is a downloadable pdf listing common TCP/UDP ports for a computer. It is very useful as a quick reference when trying to find a certain port number.
A lesson plan to introuduce types of technology and basic hardware to kindergarten students.
Website resource to help early CS learners identify parts of a computing system
In this activity, students and teachers are able to sort components of a computer into 4 categories: input, output, process, and store (memory).
Reinforcing the ability to drag and drop, learners are able to identify and begin developing the purpose of each categorized component.
This activity complements the book Hello Ruby: Journey Inside the Computer by Linda Liukas and was remixed with permission from the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) Computer Science Team.
Key concepts include:
mouse
keyboard
printer
microphone
headphones
monitor
controller
camera
temperature sensor
3-D printer
CPU
GPU
ROM
RAM
Hard Drive
Input
Output
Memory
Process
This activity will allow students to research various computer data storage options over the years and tell how they work. They will create a poster, present to the class, and then create a timeline with their posters.
Cross curricular lesson to support Computer Science and Mathematics Standards of Learning.
Use the Google Jamboard to sort devices by input or output function.
Computer and Internet Acronyms - Matching Worksheet
Students will explore computing parts and use oral language and content area vocabulary to describe items, then write a descriptive sentence to describe a technology problem.

The student (grades 4-7) will read the article and determine the purposes of each of the nine (simplified) tasks of a computer's operating system. This can be an independent, small group, or whole group activity.
Computing Systems Video and Worksheet
This document is intended to be used for small group discussion, personal or partner matching or memory game, and review of previously taught components.
Included are 8 picture and label cards containing desktop computer, laptop, tablet, mouse, keyboard, mobile devices, printer, and touch screen.
This exit slip should be used after teaching computing systems vocabulary to check for student understanding of concepts covered.
This slides presentation has a short video about the 4 things that all computing devices have in common and then has picture examples of Input and output devices. It also has a slide of internal components we don't usually see.The final slide is a sorting activity that includes input and output devices.
