Pre-K Technology Application TEKS
The Pre-k Technology TEKS is simple: The teacher sets the environment for classroom practices by using the mouse effectively and smoothly. They incorporate books and games along with the computer. This sets the tone and foundation for the upper grades. The Pre-K Guidelines for technology are:
Student opens and navigates through software programs designed to enhance development of appropriate concepts. Student uses and names a variety of computer input devices, such as mouse, keyboard,voice/sound recorder, touch screen, CD‐ROM Child operates voice/sound recorders and touch screens.
In every grade, something new is added in the curriculum until finally in the 8th grade they are efficient in technology. This builds on the understanding from the previous grades. In educational terms scaffolding takes place and the student is given the chance to master the objectives before moving on to the next step.
For instance, in kindergarten through grade the student is given multiple chances to amster the mouse and keyboard.
I am truly pleased that the students hae theopportunity to master each level before advancing ot the next step.
