Pre-K Technology TEKS

The Pre-Kindergarten guidelines for technology are not so much a set of standards but more a set of suggestions on what young children can do with technology. They go through 5 domains: social and emotional development, language and communication, emergent literacy: reading emergent literacy: writing, and mathematics.

One of the most important skills developed in Pre-Kindergarten is the idea of having a self-concept. If they can express themselves in some way, they're well on their way to being able to express themselves in digital media. I also thought the idea of learning about responsibility was important because as the students grow, they're expected to understand and explain ideas of copyright and source citation. If they've developed a basic moral concept as a young child, the concept of information as property will come much more quickly.
