==Who is this for?== | |||
Educators of all shapes and sizes! With the recently identified focus on building a networked community of educators "hacktivated" by both Mozilla's operational approach and Webmaking learning mission, a team is being brought together to engage both individual educators as well as education systems and cohorts. | |||
We seek to hacktivate educators in both formal and informal learning spaces. | |||

We would like to: | |||
* help guide your content towards important web literacies via tools/curriculum/teaching culture | |||
* help you hack our content to fit with your own learning objectives | |||
* help you expand your efforts through promotion/showcasing and by guiding local webmakers to your organizations | |||
* hear about your successes and facilitate a culture of sharing | |||

We would like to: | |||
* inspire you that this would be fun to teach | |||
* make it easy for you to teach | |||
* help you learn more skills | |||
* provide relevant tools, curriculum, etc. | |||
* help you hack our content to fit with your own learning objectives | |||

We would like to: | |||
* encourage existing educators to identify these stars and provide a single pathway once they've been identified | |||
* encourage webmakers to be these stars | |||
* lower barriers to teaching by teaching newbie educators how to host learning events, hackjams and create networks. | |||
* hook you up with existing teachers to learn from | |||
