Input Devices Worksheet: Name: - Grade

This document provides an input devices worksheet that asks students to identify different types of input devices like keyboards, mice, touchscreens, cameras, microphones, and sensors. It includes exercises to match input devices with their uses, such as pointing devices being used from a distance or webcams being used in video conferences. The worksheet also covers how computers cannot read analog sensor signals directly and require an analog-to-digital converter to interpret the data from sensors.
