Grade: Date: 25/02/2026
Subject: Information Communication Technology ICT
Lesson Topic: Know and understand uses of mobile computers including office and business management, education, gaming, entertainment and remotely controlled devices
Learning Objective/s:
  • Describe the main types of mobile computers and their key characteristics.
  • Identify core hardware components common to mobile devices and explain their functions.
  • Evaluate how mobile computers are applied in office, education, gaming, entertainment, and remote‑controlled contexts.
  • Compare advantages of different mobile devices for specific tasks.
  • Demonstrate safe and effective use of mobile devices for data collection and collaboration.
Materials Needed:
  • Projector or interactive whiteboard
  • Teacher’s laptop for demonstration
  • Sample devices (tablet, smartphone, wearable, drone controller) or high‑quality images
  • Handouts with component diagram and application table
  • Internet access for cloud‑service demos
  • Worksheets for device‑comparison activity
 Introduction:
Begin with a quick poll: “Which mobile device did you use most yesterday and why?” Connect to prior learning about computer hardware, then outline today’s success criteria – students will be able to name device types, explain core components, and match devices to real‑world uses.
Lesson Structure:
  1. Do‑Now (5’) – Students list devices they used yesterday on sticky notes and share.
  2. Mini‑lecture (10’) – Overview of mobile computer types and core components using slides.
  3. Guided exploration (15’) – Small groups examine sample devices/images and fill a comparison chart of components and typical applications.
  4. Application stations (20’) – Rotating stations (office, education, gaming/entertainment, remote‑controlled) where groups discuss suitability and present findings.
  5. Check for understanding (5’) – Quick Kahoot quiz on component functions and device uses.
  6. Reflection & exit ticket (5’) – Students write one way they could use a mobile device to improve a school task.
Conclusion:
Summarise how different mobile computers support diverse activities and reinforce the key components that enable those functions. For the exit ticket, students note which device they would choose for a given task and why. Assign homework to research an emerging mobile device and prepare a short description for the next class.
