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.

Subject: [kictanet] Ensuring Effective Implementation of the Laptop Project - The Key Variables (Day one What Knowledge/Skills do we expect std 1 Pupils to acquire (Learning objectives and outcomes)

 

Listers,

Over the past two weeks we have had animated discussions on various lists 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)
