This document summarizes the results of a technology audit of official South African languages conducted to assess the state of human language technology (HLT) across the 11 official languages. The audit found basic HLT resources available for some languages but significant gaps remain. Recommendations include further developing resources identified as gaps, improving availability and distribution of existing resources, and obtaining government funding to support HLT, especially for under-resourced languages.

I sidste uge efterlyste jeg gode eksempler på samarbejder mellem Folkebiblioteker og Folkeskoler og det er strømmet ind. Tak for det.
Det er også startskuddet på Danmarks Biblioteksforening temaside om Folkebibliotekerne og den nye folkeskolereform, som du kan se og bidrage til på db.dk/folkeskole
Jeg har lavet et kort oplæg til det "Dialogmøder om den åbne skole" som undervisningsministeret afholder i dag og alle de eksempler jeg kommer med vil indgå i DB's tema. Til præsentationen har jeg også fået hjælp af Signe Jarvad Chef Københavns Biblioteker - Kultur Valby, som har arbejdet systematisk med de københavnske bibliotekers læringsindsat i forhold til folkeskolen.
Vores fokus vil være understøtteden undervisning som det udtrykkes i den nye folkeskolereform.
På længere sigt vil DB lavet et inspirationskatalog til alle landets biblioteker, skoler og kommuner om hvordan vi kan udnytte de forskellige kompetencer vi besidder til gavn for eleverne og videnssamfundet. se www.biblioteksdebat.dk
Europæisk samarbejde i øjenhøjde
I både grundskole og gymnasium skal eleverne deltage i internationale projekter.
Med eTwinning kan du starte allerede i dag.

The document outlines a project between kindergartens and a school in Odense, Denmark to improve cooperation and the transition for children moving from kindergarten to school. Previously, professionals had only a sporadic understanding of each other, but the project aims to increase knowledge sharing and involve children in the transition process. Key activities included home visits between kindergarten and school classes, filling out "Gold Dust" forms on each child's development, and communication with parents. An evaluation found the transition was smoother for children and parents when professionals collaborated across institutions. The project will continue with adjusted plans and the hope of deeper cooperation in the future.
This document describes a project between a kindergarten and elementary school in Denmark called "Children Helping Children". The goal of the project is to teach children to help and care for each other with guidance from adults. To start, the schools performed plays and activities to introduce the concept. The results showed children becoming more aware of helping peers and using first aid kits independently. Moving forward, both schools aim to continue the project annually and strengthen collaboration through shared activities like forest visits.
This document summarizes cooperation between Ársalir kindergarten and Árskóli primary school. It discusses their Comenius project which formalized information sharing and increased meetings between teachers. It describes mutual workshops teachers attended on using play-based learning. It also outlines a draft booklet called "Farsæll" that would provide primary schools with information about incoming students' backgrounds, development, and needs to ease their transition from kindergarten to primary school. New ideas are proposed to further improve this transition process.
The document summarizes a cooperative project between two schools - Birkilundur preschool and Varmahlidarskoli elementary school - located in Skagafjordur, Iceland. The goal of the project is to increase educational continuity and the children's social skills by having regular visits between the schools. Over the course of the project, children from the preschool visited various classrooms and activities at the elementary school, and children from the elementary school also visited the preschool. The schools hoped to further develop the partnership through continued communication and defining clearer goals for the visits between the students.

The schools aim to have a shared understanding of students' skills and daily schedules to provide a smooth transition between institutions. Community engagement activities like visits from local organizations are also described.
The document discusses a project called "Children Helping Children" where children were interviewed about who they want help from when sad or hurt. Most younger children wanted help from friends while older children preferred adults. This prompted the school to start a program teaching children to help each other through activities like massage, mindfulness, and songs about friendship. The program was well received and will be introduced to new students to continue cultivating a culture of children helping one another.
The document discusses the role of school principals in connecting data generation and use to organizational learning activities. It focuses on principals collecting, analyzing, and making sense of data to plan actions. Specifically, it examines the capacities principals need to build a culture of data use and improve instruction, school improvement, and accountability. The movement toward increased accountability and a focus on results is criticized for potentially narrowing curricula and de-professionalizing teaching. The document advocates for using data to inform development in addition to external accountability.
The document announces two conferences: Wide Minds - The Human Face of Digital Learning from October 8-13, 2013 in Odense, Denmark and 1st Nordic Congress on Obesity in Gynaecology and Obstetrics (NOCOGO) from October 22-24, 2012 in Billund, Denmark.

It outlines past events from 2003-2011 and asks for feedback on topics and a potential event in Scotland for 2012. Participants are asked to provide feedback on relevant topics for 2011 and their opinions on combining a Scottish Learning Festival with a school visit and Kurs21Nord seminar in 2012. The document also mentions the NOFO group is looking for a new Norwegian partner and ways to obtain funding for seminars through programs like Comenius and NordPlus. Participants are asked to provide a brief evaluation by discussing highlights and areas for improvement in small country groups.
1. The document summarizes a panel discussion on team models in schools from four countries - Finland, Denmark, Sweden, and the Faroe Islands.
2. The panelists each presented their country's approach to forming teacher teams, including criteria for composition and the roles and compensation of team leaders. Approaches varied from subject-based teams to mixed-grade teams.
3. In discussing benefits and challenges, panelists noted that teamwork shares workload, brings diverse perspectives but also risks lack of communication and responsibility. A key challenge is balancing subject-focused and student-focused approaches.
The document describes the Blade Runner Robotics Team project. The team is composed of 10 students from two departments who are working on robots for the Robocup soccer and rescue competitions.
