By the end of Pre K, there are not many outcomes outlined for students. However, those five guidelines are very crucial for their continued technology growth. In Pre K, students focus on opening and navigating software programs, using and naming a variety of computer input devices such as mouse, keyboard, voice/sound recorder. touch screen, and CD-ROM. Students in Pre K are also expected to operate voice/sound recorders and touch screens, use software applications to create and express their own ideas, and recognize that information is accessible through the use of technology.
Again, these skills are important because it helps to build the a foundation for future grades, they are the builiding blocks. Take for instance a middle school technology TEKS, more specific 6th grade, it states that students are expected to demonstrate knowledge and appropriate use of operating systems, software applications, and communication and networking components, which is quite similar to one of the Pre K outcomes, yet a little more elaborated. With this said, it shows the spiraling done through out the years in the technology curriculum seeing that the Pre K Guidelines and middle school TEKS are very similar.
