Pre-K Technology Summary

The TEKS for prekindergarten give students a chance to become familiar with the hardware and age-appropriate software applications. These children begin to expand their ability to acquire information, build problem-solving skills, and enhance communication skills through regular accesss and exposure. More specific, students in prekindergarten will learn to start, use and exit software applications; use a variety of input devices, such as a mouse, keyboard, touch screen, or voice recorder; begin developing proper use of technical terminology; follow basic oral or pictorial instructions for computer operations; access electronic storybooks and information texts; and utilize age-appropriate software packages containing audio, video, and graphics. K-2 teachers are afforded the ability to integrate technology as an effective learning tool at the onset of the school year through foundational exposure and experiences received in prekindergarten.
