The Pre-K technology TEKS are designed to build the foundation for the students' future skill requirements. At this level they learn how to handle and use technology.
The student learns to use storybooks on the computer. They often do this by using the mouse or pushing certain main keys such as enter or space. They learn the names for primary computer parts such as keyboard, mouse, screen, and printer.
In addition to computers, children at Pre-K level learn to use voice/ sound machines. One popular tool at this level is LeapFrog. Students from Pre-K to Second grade use this tool to help with reading and other skills.
These skills are a spiraling curriculum. Students will use these skills at the Kindergarten and future levels, so if they didn't fully master the TEK it will be learned again in the next grade level. These TEKS build a good foundation for when they advance to Kindergarten level since many Kindergartners did not attend Pre-K. One example of a spiraling TEK in which they have many opportunities to master would be the usage and naming of various computer input devices.
