@Raru I understand a 5th std student can grasp and can be very good at it(upon the child's interest). But keeping in mind a classroom environment where a teacher's explanation is not sufficient for all and provided they have lot of topics to be learned in other subjects. It will be actually an overburden to an average school going student. And finally the student will be asked a lot of *theoretical* questions for the written examination. The child may find it really hard to memorise. And also even when we teach the student all these technologies the student/child is not allowed to do a single assignment of any subject using computers(this should be changed).
I think we are planning to *introduce computer as a tool*. And for a student I think it will beneficial for him to learn Open Office Draw or may be Dia or something like that. According to the child's need in other subjects. I feel that GIMP is a complex tool to be introduced and doesn't(not 100% sure though) suit the needs of other subjects. *Request:* Can you also provide a list of topics which are covered for Computers in other classes, especially the lower classes. So that we understand how the course is designed. -- Anoop Jacob Thomas http://anoop.caremedia.org -- "Freedom is the only law".
