I would suggest that you do not introduce computers at the class 1 level. In my opinion, there should not be any computer classes before class 7 or 8. Below that age, children should be running around and playing more than anything else. They should, ideally, learn through play. There is a school in central Kerala that does precisely this. Children up to class 7 are not forced to sit in the class or assigned 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.
