Pre-K Technology Applications TEKS

At the end of a students prekindergarten years the following are the outcomes expected of the students as far as technology applications are concerned:
The child can open and navigate through software programs designed to enhance development of appropriate concepts.
The child use a variety of computer input devices such as mouse, keyboard, voice/sound recorder,touch screen, C.D ROM.
The child operates voice/sound recorders and touch screens.
The child uses software applications to create and express own ideas.
The child recognizes that information is accessible through the use of technology.

The technology applications TEKS are designed to be a "SPIRALING CURRICULUM". A spiraling curriculum is an educational method of building upon knowledge by revisiting a concept using different forms of representation in a continuing cycle and at a higher level of complexity.
The Texas TEKS for technology applications constantly allows the student a reinforcing curriculum such as building upon the type of software the student is engaged with and continually reinforcing the ethical practices of using internet resources.
