I would suggest that you do not introduce computers at

level. In my opinion, there should not be any computer classes before
class 7 or 8.
Yes, But there are many schools(Mostly Pvt schools) in Kerala which
have
made computer learning a must in primary classes. This is absurd. Children
should allowed to play and learn freely.
specific tasks. The job of the teacher is to ensure
that the children
learn things as a part of whatever they do. This is hard on the teacher,
but the children do learn, and not just bookish knowledge that helps
only to write answers in examinations.
This is not acceptable to the
public(especially parents). They only want
ranks and merits not knowledge.
But this is actually out of the scope of this mailing list.
