Fax machine
A fax machine is a device that is used to send documents electronically over a telephone network.
The transmissions it sends are called “faxes” and these can be between two fax machines, or between a fax machine and computer or online fax service that is equipped to send and receive faxes.
👩🏫 Welcome, Primary 1 students, to our Computer Studies ICT class! Today, we are going to learn about a common IT device called the fax machine. 📠
A fax machine is a device that allows us to send and receive documents electronically over a telephone network. It revolutionized the way we share physical documents over long distances. Let’s explore more about fax machines together:
📠 How Fax Machines Work:
1. Sending a Fax: To send a fax, we place the document we want to send into the fax machine’s document feeder or on the glass platen. We then enter the recipient’s fax number using the fax machine’s keypad. Once we press the “send” button, the fax machine scans the document and converts it into electronic signals. These signals are transmitted over the telephone network to the receiving fax machine.
2. Receiving a Fax: When a fax machine receives a fax, it answers the incoming call and listens for fax tones. If it detects these tones, it starts receiving the electronic signals and converts them back into a document. The received document is then printed out by the fax machine.
📠 Types of Fax Machines:
There are different types of fax machines, including:
– Standalone Fax Machines: These are dedicated machines solely for sending and receiving faxes. They usually have a keypad, display, and document feeder.
– Multifunction Printers (MFPs): Some printers include built-in fax capabilities, allowing them to perform printing, scanning, copying, and faxing all in one device.
📠 Faxing Beyond Fax Machines:
Faxing has also evolved beyond traditional fax machines. Now, we have online fax services and fax software that enable us to send and receive faxes through computers or mobile devices. These services or software often convert documents into digital files that can be transmitted over the internet.
Fax machines and faxing have been widely used in offices, businesses, and even homes. They have played a significant role in sharing important documents quickly and securely. However, with advancements in technology, digital alternatives like email and document scanning have become more popular.

👩🏫 Welcome, Primary 1 students, to our Computer Studies ICT class! Today, we are going to learn about a fascinating IT device called the radio. 📻
A radio receiver, commonly known as a radio, is an electronic device used for receiving radio waves and converting them into sound or other forms of information that we can use. Radios are widely used for various purposes, including getting information and listening to news. Let’s explore further:
📻 How Radios Work:
1. Radio Waves: Radios operate by receiving radio waves, which are a type of electromagnetic radiation. These waves carry audio signals, such as music, speech, or data, from radio stations.
2. Antenna: Radios use an antenna to capture radio waves from the air. The antenna acts as a receiver and picks up the radio signals, converting them into electrical signals.
3. Conversion: The electrical signals from the antenna are then processed by the radio’s internal components, such as amplifiers and tuners. These components convert the electrical signals into sound or other usable forms of information.
📻 Uses of Radio:
Radios have several uses in our daily lives, including:
1. Getting Information: Radios are commonly used to receive news, weather updates, and other important information. We can tune in to radio stations that broadcast news bulletins, talk shows, interviews, and educational programs.
2. Listening to Music and Entertainment: Radios provide a means to listen to music, podcasts, radio dramas, and other forms of entertainment. We can tune in to different radio stations that play various genres of music or specific programs tailored to our interests.
3. Emergency Communication: During emergencies or natural disasters, radios play a crucial role in disseminating important information, such as evacuation notices, safety instructions, and updates from authorities.
Radios have been a popular form of communication and entertainment for many years. They have evolved from large, bulky devices to compact portable radios that we can carry with us anywhere. They continue to be a reliable source of information and a means of connecting with the world around us.
Now, let’s have a little activity! Can you draw or describe a radio and how it receives and converts radio waves into sound? Feel free to use emojis or describe the process step by step. 🎧📻
Remember, radios are fascinating devices that bring us news, music, and entertainment through the power of radio waves! 📡🔊
