Technology Applications.3.3.B

Previous Next
The student is expected to apply an appropriate design process using components such as peer and teacher feedback to create new and useful solutions to authentic problems.

A student expectation is directly related to the knowledge and skills statement, is more specific about how students demonstrate their learning, and always begins with a verb. Student expectations are further broken down into their component parts, often referred to as “breakouts.”

TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS.3.3.B — Vertical Alignment

Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.

TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS.3.3.B — Breakout of skills

Breakouts are the component parts that make up a student expectation. A breakout shows a distinct concept a student should know or a distinct skill that a student should be able to demonstrate.

The student is expected to
apply an appropriate design process using components
to create new solutions to authentic problems
to create useful solutions to authentic problems

Cross-curricular Connections

The cross-curricular connections are designed to help educators make content connections between the technology applications TEKS and other subject areas. The standards below illustrate alignment between grade level content areas which may help educators develop cross-curricular lessons. These connections do not represent all possible connections that might be made.
