The Pre-K Technology TEKS are designed to provide children with the opportunity to learn how their lives are enhanced through the use of computers, voice/sound recorders, televisions, MP3 devices, digital camers, and even iPODs . Children are encouraged to develop techniques to control the various devices and to become independent users of age-appropriate technology.
In the TEKS the child learns to open and operate software programs, use a variety of input devices such as the mouse and keyboard, and operate sound recorders and touch screens to create and express their own ideas. In addition, the child learns to recognize that information of all types is available through the use of technology.
The Pre-K TEKS lay the foundation for student performance in future grades by providing basic level knowledge of the existance and use of technology. In addition, it eliminates the fear of using technology by providing hands-on practice and piquing the interest of the student before actual assignments are given.
