Pre-K Application Guidelines

Technology is such an integral part of our future and therefor we must prepare our children at a very young age for their future. This is why technology has been integrated into the curriculum for students even at the Pre-K level. Many students at this age are already interested in the "computer" but the state of Texas says that by the end of their Pre-k years children should be able to master certain computer tasks and concepts. By the end of their Pre-k years, students should be able to open and navigates through software programs designed to enhance
development of appropriate concepts, use and name many input devices such as a mouse or CD-ROM, operate voice and sound recorders and master the touch screen, be able to use software applications such as paint or draw to create and convey their own ideas, and understand they can obtain information through the use of technology. Technology is utilized as early as Pre-k because students at this age need to know how important technology in in their lives and in their futures. They need to be made to understand how technology can enhance their lives and help them grow professionally, socially, and academically. Technology at this young age is the building block upon which many more blocks will be added in the years to come.
