The document emphasizes that early childhood educators can support and extend children's literacy learning.

Twas The Week Before Finals
Students were stressed as finals week approached, studying late into the night and drinking many cups of coffee to stay awake. One student decided to take a break from studying and went for a walk through campus, noticing the beauty in the snow-covered trees and buildings lit with holiday lights which helped relieve some stress and provided a moment of calmness and joy during the busy week. The student returned to studying feeling recharged and better able to focus on preparing for exams, realizing that taking occasional breaks is important to maintain well-being during stressful times.

It recommends choosing existing data sets to publish, applying an open license, making the data available and discoverable on the web through various technical means, and establishing principles like keeping it simple and engaging stakeholders. The end goal is to organize an "innovative movement" by building networks of developers and innovators around openly published data sets.
Looking back: open data for development camp
Over 127 people attended the two-day Open Data for Development Camp held in May 2011 in Amsterdam. The event saw over 1700 chat messages and 450 emails exchanged during its planning and saw 9 data sets and apps presented, with 6 sets of data released for the first time and 4 applications and APIs built. The Dutch government expressed its commitment to transparency and innovation using open data and there was an aim to increase cooperation between the government and NGOs on these issues through connecting actors and international networking.
