pre-k tech teks

Created in 1999, these TEKS help the pre-k teacher better prepare our youngest learners for what is to come...

These guidelines state that p-k students must follow visual and oral cues to navigate through a program. Our three and four year olds must use the computer to access digital story books and other informational texts. These kids must be able to double-click and use computer terminology. They must also be able to use voice and sound recording technology at an appropriate level. They should also be able to play/insert CDs (this one is now obsolete as we are moving more and more toward MP3s and the like). The child should also be able to create drawings. Also, the student should use technology applications that enhance the learning system.

These Technology Application TEKS are definitely scaffolded/spiralling. Every student should advance a grade having experienced foundational requirements that will allow them to access that year's Technology TEKS. Without these necessary prerequisite skills students will not be able to master new skills. In other words, these skills build upon each other...year AFTER year AFTER year!
