●Participated planning with the training agencies of the territory

●New concepts expressed in the Guidelines vs non-coherent didactical choices

with the district framework - will allow a personalized offer by the school

●Aggregations testing and school timetables that are coherent with the project offered

WIKINOMICS – the economy of giftDon Tapscott ed Anthony D. Williams , Wikinomics 2.0: Mass Collaboration that is changing the world.,

“According to Tapscott, Wikinomics is based on four ideas: Openness, Peering, Sharing, and Acting Globally. (...)

Mass collaboration relies on free individual agents to come together and cooperate to improve a given operation or solve a problem.”

OPENNESS 

“Openness is a philosophy on which some groups and organizations operate, highlighted by a decision-making process recognizing management by distributed stakeholders (users/producers/contributors), as opposed to a centralized authority (owners, experts, boards of directors, etc.), for determining operational and strategic direction.”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openness
