Pre-K Technology Application TEKS

The technology TEKS begins to prepare the student to use technology to communicate and expand their learning environment. The Pre-K TEKS begin to promote school readiness. There are three domains that lay the foundation for cognitive, social and emotional growth of the student. The other domains begin to develop the skills necessary for the core curriculum in grades K-12. A spriraling curriculum revisits basic ideas repeatedly and builds on them until the student has developed proficiency in them. The technology TEKS does just that. For example, TEK XA2 requires the pre-kindergartener to name and use a variety of input devices including the mouse and keyboard. After reviewing the TEKS for grades k-12, I realized that this TEKS is present in every grade level. This presents the student with numerous opportunities to practice and demonstrate proficiency.
