<DIV>You are really selling our kids short:-) I am no expert in children's learning so I did some research and see 155 skills that std 1 pupils can expect to learn here:</DIV>

<DIV>Listers,<BR><BR></DIV>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.<BR><BR></DIV>This discussion will take place over a five day period and will be as follows:<BR>
<DIV style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; FONT-STYLE: normal; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif; FONT-SIZE: 16px"><SPAN>1. Day 1: What Knowledge/Skills do we expect std 1 Pupils to acquire (Learning objectives and outcomes)</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV>2. Day 2: What Educational Content would support the Knowledge Objectives above(examples of educ. content/software used)<BR></DIV>
<DIV>3. Day 3: How would this be delivered and assessed? (Administrative & Institutional infrastructures at primary school levels)</DIV>
<DIV>4. Day 4: Maintenance & Disposal (issues of support, environmental concerns, etc)</DIV>
<DIV>5. Day 5: Wrapup and Way Forward (Key declarations, what next)</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><B>Today we start with day 1 <BR></B></DIV><B><SPAN>What Knowledge/Skills do we expect std 1 Pupils to acquire (Learning objectives and outcomes)</SPAN></B>
