Pre-K TEKS and Scaffold

The Pre-K Technology Applications TEKS is summarized by starting, knowing and using basic hardware tools and enjoying the experience. The student should be taught the basic terminology of the hardware devices. The teacher should use a variety of software packages to enhance the learning experiences. All of these TEKS will give students a working knowledge of the key components needed in the daily functions of computer technology. The scaffolding curriculum is described in several of the strands. Knowing how to turn on a computer and work with the software as a foundation is the base of scaffold. After you know how to use the computer, you need to be able to acquire the necessary information. Now that you have the information, you need to use that information to solve the problem that you have been researching. The end result must then be presented or communicated. This is how the scaffolding works. Each step is necessary to move forward.
