Microsoft getting 'em while they're tots - Winston Chai, CNet
Grabbing them young--very young--seems to be Microsoft's new strategy in Singapore, where the company plans to introduce its technology to children as young as six. "We are now working closely with the Singapore government on initiatives for some primary schools," said Andy Zupsic, managing director of Microsoft Singapore, in an interview with CNET Asia. "Our aim is to work with students when they are very young and expose them to our technology, and help them realize their full potential through Microsoft's products." Students in primary schools are mostly aged six to 12. Without disclosing project specifics, Zupsic said the initiatives could center on interactive online learning. "Instead of normal textbooks, primary school students can use the Internet as a teacher or virtual mentor," said Zupsic.
