That is ok prasad. Also, we must get some parents with school going
kid. I will look into the wiki when I am free (some time next week).
My suggestions are
a) Make the computer education in primary school an informal
affair. No exams. No compulsion.
b) Kids view the computer as a toy. My kids learned to use the
mouse at the age of 3. The eldest (in class 3 ) can now switch on , login
browse . Look at Malayalam wiki pedia, play movies draw pictures and type
in Malayalam .( They study according to Sarvasiksha Abihayan).
c) Teaching programming can go to hiher classes.
d) Things like binary should go to High school . Most of the primary
school students are learning to count. :)
e) GCompris is a good software with wihch I taught my kids the
basics. I suggest all those who are involved to look at it.
f) Story telling Alice is another software which can do womders. It
is a sort of grapical programming language. Here is a post that I made
when I taught story telling Alice http://brainstorms.in/?p=173
g) You may note that we are teaching young kids and teaching them the
basics of computer as a tool which they can use in their daily life. Dont
assume that all of them are going to be geeks.
