For success many of the WebMaker learning events will require scaffolding. The idea being that scripts, guidelines, etc. are provided to the participants beforehand so they can be better prepared.

Through the summer of 2012 Mozilla is promoting [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Webmakers/events/kitchen_table kitchen table] events. These are an outstanding way of getting people together and learning the craft of webmaking. I particularly like this approach for it is a non-technical solution to learning. It builds on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_community#Approaches community of learners] idea, and puts friends and family in a safe social space to learn something technical (which sometimes comes with frustration and fear). I will be working with my kids (and others who want to join us) to participate in these kitchen table events. | |||
