Spiraling of the Technology Applications TEKS

The use of input devices provides an example of the spiraling of multiple opportunities to master an essential technology skill. The use of different input devices is part of a series of TEKS for each grade level. The keyboard and mouse are both inputs listed for each grade level. Simple double-clicking on the mouse begins in Pre-K, then the complexity expands to include advanced input devices such as touch screens and voice/sound recorders at the higher grade levels.
