Summary of Pre-K Technology Application TEKS

The Pre-K technology standards outline the earliest stages of technology development for students. At this stage, students begin to gain basic skills such as inputting information, touch keyboarding and becoming familiar with a computer.
The skills that these students aquire lay the foundation for future technological development and advancements as they continue throughout school.


A spiraling curriculum begins with the assumption that children are not always ready to learn something. Readiness to learn is at the core of a spiral curriculum, thus instead of focusing for relatively long periods of time on some narrow topic whose time has come, a spiral curriculum tries to expose students to a wide variety of ideas over and over. A spiral curriculum, by moving in a circular pattern from topic to topic within a field like, say, math, seeks to catch kids when they first become ready to learn something and pick up the other kids who may be a bit behind or not ready to learn yet.
