DIDACTIC APPLICATION
Children already know how these devides look alike from the outside and its utilities and we can take advantagr of that, a computer has a screen that can be a rectangle, you use the keyboard to write things and search for information by pushing small cubes with letters on them and you also move the mouse, which usually has a rounded shape with some divisions.
Laptops are also part of the hardware and they are formed by two rectangles that can close and open, icons of different applications also include geometric figures. Even in the smaller parts inside a computer, we can identify multiple figures and its functions which can be a good opportunity to teach children how computers work on the inside, in the latest courses of Primary Education and also in Secondary Education since it should be a common knowledge as we progress in this field.
