The Pre-K Technology Applications TEKS teaches students the basic foundations of technological tools. The computer is one of the main tools that students will begin to interact with. The students learn that technology can enhance their lives. The major outcomes of the TEKS are:
(1) Children learn to navigate through software designed to enhance development of appropriate concepts.
(2) Children use a variety of input devices, such as a mouse, keyboard, voice/sound recorder, touch screen, and CD-ROM.
(3) Children operate voice/sound recorders and touch screens.
(4) Children use software applications to create and express ideas.
(5) Children recognize that information is accessible through the use of technology.
Like any other vertical learning program, the Pre-K TEKS lays a solid foundation of technology skills that will allow students to expand their use of technology and its tools as they progress through their education. This technology foundation allows for greater student performance due to the unlimited amounts of accessible information and utilization of the many technological tools that can enhance learning.
