TCEA Friday

Friday at TCEA I attended a workshop about the new Technology Applications TEKS for middle school.  Beginning in the new school year of 2012-2013 these TEKS must be met.  The biggest change is the break down into each grade level and scaffold student expectations.  These can be found at http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/rules/tac/chapter126/ch126b.html

The biggest challenge has always been inserting all of these TEKS into the regular classes.  Many teachers manage to cover some of them with technology integration. However, teachers are so busy keeping up with their required curriculum they forget that TA TEKS are another item they are required to teach.  Do you blame them?
