Technology TEKS

The technology TEKS outline what a student is to master in each grade level. The state has done a fine job of spiraling the TEKS so that each grade level is a building block for the next. For example, students in kindergarten may learn how to type their names into a word document allowing them time to practice with a word processing program but also typing skills as well. The next year the students begin typing their spelling words giving them more opportunity to master typing skills and becoming more familiar with the word program. This continues until the student is able to perform multiple tasks in Word and can create complex documents. This foundation allows students the ability to function in a high technology world and also to master skills that will help them to be successful as they enter the working force.
