TExES 242 study plan

Diagram the layers of a host-to-host network model and label where a router, switch, access point, and firewall operate

Classify 25 hardware and peripheral devices by function, connector or interface type, and typical classroom deployment

Distinguish local, networked, and cloud storage models by writing one K-12 scenario in which each is the correct choice

Configure a spreadsheet to compute class averages, conditional counts, and a simple chart from a pasted data set

List and order the steps of a systematic hardware and connectivity troubleshooting routine

Compare operating system, application, and utility software categories and give a licensing implication for each

Summarize five emerging technologies (generative AI, AR/VR, IoT, 3D printing, cloud collaboration) with one realistic instructional use apiece

Apply the troubleshooting sequence to three written failure scenarios and justify each diagnostic step taken

Differentiate data types (text, numeric, image, audio, video) by file format, storage demand, and accessibility considerations

Define the terms digital citizenship, digital literacy, and acceptable use so the three are clearly distinct

Distinguish copyright, fair use, public domain, and Creative Commons rules by resolving 12 short scenarios

Explain in your own words the core requirements of FERPA, COPPA, and CIPA and name one compliance obligation each places on a campus

Categorize online threats (phishing, malware, ransomware, identity theft, cyberbullying, sexting, doxxing) and match each to a prevention and a response step

Evaluate a sample acceptable use policy against a checklist of required elements and note at least four gaps

Describe how a positive digital footprint is taught and modeled, with two concrete classroom practices

Design a 20-minute digital citizenship mini-lesson with an objective, activity, and evidence of learning

Sequence a unit that embeds safety, ethics, and etiquette into content-area instruction rather than treating them as add-ons

Build a test blueprint for Domain 2 that allocates items across law, safety, ethics, and etiquette

Write four original multiple-choice items with plausible distractors and a rationale for each correct answer

Analyze your week 1 through 3 notes and identify the three weakest subtopics for targeted review

Map three separate lesson objectives to TPACK, SAMR, and Universal Design for Learning so the models are applied, not just defined

Select and justify assistive technology for four learner profiles, including one student with a significant motor or sensory need

Design paired formative and summative assessments that use digital tools to capture evidence of learning

Differentiate one lesson into three tiers of technology-supported support without changing the underlying objective

Explain how technology integration shifts the teacher role toward facilitation and describe two observable indicators of that shift

Interpret a sample set of assessment data and write a reteaching decision supported by the numbers

Evaluate three digital resources for accuracy, bias, accessibility, and alignment to a stated learning objective

Compare adult learning models such as coaching, professional learning communities, and job-embedded training for fit with given campus scenarios

Describe how to select, implement, and evaluate a technology tool using measurable success criteria

Draft the assessment section of a campus technology plan, naming the data sources it will rely on

Draft a one-year campus technology plan covering vision, infrastructure needs, budget lines, professional development, and evaluation

Compare funding sources and discount programs available to schools, including their eligibility and documentation requirements

Design a 60-minute professional development session using a chosen adult learning model and specify how its impact will be measured

Distinguish the responsibilities of the technology coordinator, campus administrator, teacher, and student in a shared-responsibility model

Outline a stakeholder communication plan for a technology initiative, naming the audience, message, channel, and timing for each group

Complete two full-length timed practice tests and score the results by domain and subdomain

Rank your five weakest subdomains across all four domains and rebuild each one from primary notes

Recite from memory the key legal and ethical terms and their defining provisions

Explain aloud how the four domains connect, using one integrated scenario that touches all four

Review your cumulative error log and verify that every previously missed item can now be answered correctly
