The Pre-K student guidelines for technology encourage the basic knowledge, use and operation of technology. They lay the foundation for student performance in future grades by including many of the same goals. Students gain basic understanding of hardware and use of software. This is known as spiraling or scaffolding of knowledge. Instruction is based on activating prior knowledge and revisiting skills in more complexity over time. The following is an example of a series of TEKS which students have multiple opportunities to master.
Preschool Guideline: X.A.2:
Child uses and names a variety of computer input devices, such as mouse, keyboard, voice/sound recorder, touch screen, CD‐ROM.
This directly corresponds to the following Kindergarten through 2nd grade Technology TEKS.
Chapter 126.2.b.2
The student is expected to use a variety of input devices such as mouse, keyboard, disk drive, modem, voice/sound recorder, scanner, digital video, CD-ROM, or touch screen.
