A) Your research on Collective Sharing and Generation of Knowledge (CSGK) - check the Horizon Project This section is for your own group research - In your own words write below "what is Collective Sharing and Generation of Knowledge ?" - Explain in your own words what it invovles, what it means, give some examples and links where possible - this should be 3 large paragraphs. ................................................................................... Collective Sharing and Generation of Knowledge is an idea that all knowledge is being passed on at faster and faster speeds due to the internet and it is changing the way people learn that have an internet connection. The Collective sharing part is when a group of people bring their knowledge together without holding back any knowledge that 1 person may know. Websites that use this are [|www.wikipedia.org] and [|www.onlinedictionary.com]. These websites provide knowledge to anyone who goes onto them and they aren’t holding anything back. A study also shows that 36% of online Americans go onto Wikipedia, the world’s biggest online encyclopaedia. This theory of sharing knowledge with other people is becoming increasingly popular with many schools and scientists using the internet to communicate.

Collective Sharing and Generation of Knowledge was first mentioned on the [|Horizon Project 2004]. There are also a group of people who will research the trends on education with high school, college and elementary school students. Another team called CSGK Gov/Pol/Employ wiki will look at how this idea will impact on governments, politics and employment. CSGK Gov/Pol/Employ wiki is the site.

Team members involved in this Collective Sharing and Generation of Knowledge are Dana El G who is the Project manager. Stephanie V who is the assistant project manager. Toby H from Geelong high school who is in the education department of the idea. There are also Sonya S from the Government and politics part, Mitch B from the entertainment area and Summer W with the Science, environment and health part. The Project manager’s information is on this page: [|Dana El G].

This page can be better constructed with possibly the most important one being the ability to access the videos on the page. It might just be my computer though! Otherwise the page is well done. Even though there is a lack of information, the information that is produced on the page is very relevant and useful.
 * The page has a lot of information which can benefit people that are trying to research these topics. It also has links leading off to where the information was gathered which relates to the Collective Sharing and Generation of Knowledge idea.
 * The page has Videos which relate to the information on the section, some people learn better visually and this is a good way to learn.
 * It also states who the members are that are working on this page which is good if you want to ask them questions.

D) Looking at CSGK Wiki B (Impact on government, politics and employment) Tag: sb_csgkB - List 1 piece of new knowledge our group has obtained thanks to this wiki page Note: The students work is not finished, you need to be encouraging and include constructive comments.

One piece of new knowledge we attained was that with collective sharing the public and government can help them better asses laws and makes it easier for them to attain information without researching it as much.
