The Pre-K TEKS are the building blocks on which the rest of technology education occurs. Pre-K students are taught to use a computer to access information and also how to use a variety of software that will be crucial to education in later years. Most importantly, the Pre-K TEKS teach students the basic terminology and knowledge of basic technology that will be used in later grades.
A scaffolding curriculum is one in which the same concepts are covered in advancing years and with advancing depth. A good example from the Pre-K Technology TEKS is keyboarding. Keyboarding will be revisited and expanded in grades K-5. Student swill then learn about different input devices in 6-8, and finally the student will be held to speed and efficiency standards of keyboarding in 9-12.
