Integrating the Tech Apps TEKS

Purpose

The Technology Applications TEKS are mandated by the TEA for all middle school grades 6-8 students. Since the Computer Applications course is an elective course at HCISD, the Technology Applications TEKS must be taught integrated into the four core subject areas.

Overview

The technology applications will be split between the core curriculum areas, with each core subject teacher asked to complete at least one technology project addresing a particular Technology Application area per semester, as described below. Keyboarding will be addressed by all subject areas as the default sponge activity when students complete other computer lab assignments and have additional time to spend in the lab.
