After reading the draft of the new federal plan, it is remarkable to know that my son in Pre-k is already learning about software and how to navigate through different programs. This plan focuses on improving digital learning at the elementary, secondary and also in higher education.
The more I delineate on this matter I'm torn between hands on creative play and computer screens exploring such programs as Reader Rabbit or Jumpstart. My husband on the other hand is a tech geek so he already has our boys exploring the IPAD touch screens at 2 and 4. If there was a balance between the two then old school parents like myself that like the feel of a book can be satisfied.
The Pre-K technology requirements lay the foundation for student performance just like the regular Pre-K curriculum lays a foundation. Society has chosen to give our kids a leg up on school by providing an opportunity to prepare for school without the pressure of having to advance to the next level. The technology TEKS for Pre-K do just the same.
