The TEKS for technology from Pre-K to 12th grade are comprehensive, and complete. They outline a very specific, and appropriate program for mastery of technology as it relates to current technology. Many of the skills that students MUST master are very removed from even when I was in high school (1990-1994). Having specific TEKS for technology will allow Texas educators to produce not only tech-savvy students, but students that will enter the work force with the proper skills to succeed in a constantly changing world. The Pre-K standards enable the teachers of Pre-K kids to encourage the development of social, motor, and problem solving skills necessary to effectively use the technology that is ever changing.

A spiraling curriculum is a curricular system that allows the student to re-establish learning of a particular content area at various stages of learning development across years in school. This concept, as applied to technology, will allow the initial (and fundamental) skills learned early, such as keyboarding, mouse use, computer hardware use, etc, to be used in higher-level thinking applications. As it pertains to the TEKS, the foundational skills mentioned above will be used throughout the tech-ed process, through continual application in each successive grade. For example, the skills of keyboard use, as taught in the early application of computer science including keyboarding, will evolve from the basics if the home row, to typing, coding, and keyboard applications that allow a higher level of program use later on. This type of revisiting of skills will allow the student to constantly be evaluated and learning adapted to meet the growing needs of the changing technology.
