Pre-K?? Who would have thought that at the age of 4 we as a state had created technology TEKS? I remember Kindergarten and we just learned to get along, line up quietly, and color within the lines. Now we have TEKS to ensure that 4 year olds are able to implement technology as they go from grade to grade.
Students are able use technology as a scaffolding curriculum ;by continually using specific programs, i.e. PowerPoint, word and excel to name a few. The students are able to begin using these programs for simple assignments such as letter books in elementary all the way to detailed projects and research papers that will utilize all these three programs have to offer. I see this as we get more students in the middle schools who already know how to utilize several aspects of each program.
Also, as we begin to change high school graduation requirements we are seeing more and more of the technology classes moving to the 8th grade. For instance, keyboarding is now being taught more and more in 7th and 8th grades and also is no longer a requirement for graduation with the changes in the technology requirements of the 81st legislature.
