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....
