Travelled from Helsinki to Copenagen with Finn Air, plane was delayed several hours (don't know why) Was given 6 Euro voucher to spend at one of the airport shops to compensate for the delay. FInally arrived in COpenhagen about 8:30pm. Big double decker bus picked up 12 of us to take us to our hotel. THursday night. Met young girl form Danish Ministry of Ed in foyer at 8:30am and went in taxis to visit a primary school, very poor facilites, and not much computer use in evidence though they did have a good network system which children and parents could access from home. THe went to senior school year 10 -12 called a gymnasium. THye had a laptop program where every student leased alaptop for the 3 years. DOing some good stuff. THen we headed off the Ministry of Ed they provided lunch and spoke tous abou tthe use of IT in schools and govt policy. Very much ahead of us in many areas.
