Many connections are possible that use technology to teach English Language Arts
and Reading. We encourage teachers to move beyond the direct mention of technology to make
their own connections. The following table (Indirect TEKS Connection) illustrates one
English Language Arts and Reading student expectation that does not specifically mention
technology but is easily accomplished with technology. Many others are possible. |
