Pre-K Technology Applications TEKS

Students who enter the Pre-K program in our public schools have a curriculum that is expected to be taught to them that includes a technology component. The focus of the TEKS is to expose the student to the basic components of a computer and the various uses of the computer. As with all subjects, vocabulary of the computer is also an integral part of the curriculum. Then the students get to the good stuff - using the computers through the use of interactive stories and games. These stories and games can address any subject area, but can be used and delivered via the computer The Pre-K Technology TEKS lays a foundation for students to build experiences on and carry on through the upcoming grades. Technology exposure should begin as soon as they enter a formal school setting, and hopefully before. As with the TEKS in other areas of study, the State of Texas has designed the curriculum to be a spiraling of skills and concepts, to ensure mastery of the objectives.
