Interesting discussions already! Knowledge and skills set at Std 1 from my perspective would include: 1. Introduction to basics of computing - being able to understand the system 2. Communicate effectively - able t use internet to search and learn new things, watch educational videos etc as well as communicate with peers from other schools at that young age, hence initializing collaboration. 3. Creativity - being able to use simple programs to create and set talents rolling. 4. Entertainment - be able to use the system to play educational games as well other games that can help the mind grow and develop. 5. E-learning - Introduce self paced learning in form of e-learning or any other applicable ways. Lastly content is King, but thats day2....

Many thanks Walu for setting the ball rolling Jaco and James make equally interesting interventions. From a laymans perspective in class one i would like to teach the child to pay attention as well as have some structured way of thinking and solving problems as such the child should a) Be able to listen b) Be able to engage in problem solving c) Be able to communicate his thoughts and idea from mind to paper or any other platform We also need to have in mind the short attention span of the child and look at ways of making the lessons more exciting. Jaco could you kindly expound on your answers, they sound very insightfull.
Best Regards

I would want to imagine the core skills are the basic literacies as indicated by Walubengo - mainly covering Mathematical literacy (or Numeracy), information literacy(including reading and writing) and computer/digital literacy. Of course depending on how these basic literacies are taught other literacies can be implied (for example environmental, cultural).
Is there anyone with the content of Standard One curricula or syllabi? This would greatly shape our discussions.

Dear Walu,
Thank you for these skills. From UNESCO perspective learners should not only have technology literacy (usage skills) but also knowledge deepening skills and ideally knowledge creation skills. These skills include ?softer skills? that goes from problem formulation to cyber security to understanding plagiarism.

Thnx Barrack for volunteering to moderate this week's session on this topic.
Looks like Listers are still waking up from their weekend and so I will take the opportunity to be the first to shoot my ideas on what we skills/knowledge expect the kids to have.
1. Usage Skills:- just basics of operating the gadget, turn on/off, load basic programs such as typing, drawing, etc
2. Searching skills:- ability to "google" around the devices for specific items - very important in a world with an overload of information.
3. Elementary Skills:- the NON-ICT stuff, we still have an obligation to teach the kids reading, writing, and numerical skills and so the question is how can ICTs support this elementary skill build-up.
walu.

Listers,
Over the past two weeks we have had animated discussions on various

regarding the laptop project that is to be implemented by the Government. The outgoing permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Information and Communication Dr. Bitange Ndemo and his education counterpart Prof. Godia attempted to join the discussion but could not provide substantive response since the discussion was not structured. As stakeholders in the ICT sector, we have decided to hold a five day online discussion to gather views in a structured manner. This will then be synthesized during a face to face meeting that will be hosted by Strathmore University. We expect the Cabinet Secretaries for Information and Communication, Education and their Principal Secretaries to join us in the face to face meeting.
This discussion will take place over a five day period and will be as follows:
1. Day 1: What Knowledge/Skills do we expect std 1 Pupils to acquire (Learning objectives and outcomes)
2. Day 2: What Educational Content would support the Knowledge Objectives above(examples of educ. content/software used)
3. Day 3: How would this be delivered and assessed? (Administrative & Institutional infrastructures at primary school levels)
4. Day 4: Maintenance & Disposal (issues of support, environmental concerns, etc)
5. Day 5: Wrapup and Way Forward (Key declarations, what next)
Today we start with day 1
What Knowledge/Skills do we expect std 1 Pupils to acquire (Learning objectives and outcomes)
