Pre-K Technology Applications TEKS

A Pre-K child receives some basic instruction that for the most part is making the child comfortable with the use of technology. The expectations for these young children are the following: uses age appropriate software; can identify a computer screen, mouse, printer, and CD Rom; can insert and play a CD; creates digital writings or drawings; and the child learns new information because of the use of technology. These basic skills will aid the child in developing even more complex skills that will be needed as the content gradually becomes more challenging. The scaffolding of these skills is and essential element since the children will eventually be expected to not only carry out such tasks on their own, but to someday manipulate the technology for work, personal, or play.
