Pre-K Technology Applications TEKS lay the foundation for future successful technology integration for students. A pre-kindergarten student is expected to know what a keyboard and mouse do along with other input devices, and the student needs to know the proper names for those devices. They should be able to follow age-appropriate programs while also knowing how to start and exit a program. These programs should develop vocabulary and language awareness.
Having a basic knowledge of how a computer works enables students to progress onto more advance usages of a computer.
Students are introduced to saving a file in the K-2 Technology Applications (TA) skills. The 3-5 TA Skills require a student to save and delete files as a foundation. This skill builds as a student progresses through school. Learning a back up files to multiple resources when working on a research project in high school uses advance techniques of a basic computer skill.
An acceptable use policy or agreement is essentially the same for any school level, but ethics need to be developed and expanded as students progress through more advanced internet and other uses.
The use of fonts spans the TA skills from basic fonts to more appropriate professional fonts.
Students have multiple opportunities to practice and master many TA skills. Each activity, class, project, or educational level has a unique use for an individual technology concept.
