The Microsoft educational initiative Smart Mice – Children Discovering Language in Germany helps four- to six-year-olds learn how to handle words and letters in a playful manner.
Every Smart Mice pre-school receives a Language Competence Package including a tablet PC suitable for children (a notebook with a writeable display), teaching and supplementary educational material and the Smart Mice learning software. The kindergarten teachers are trained by experienced media educationists… Presently, around 8,000 pre-school kids learn and play with the Smart Mice.
