=== Overview === | |||
The Mozilla Foundation has a vision of a web literate planet. We've <strong>[http://webmaker.org/ built some tools]</strong> to help with this and now we're asking the question: <strong>What are the skills, competencies and literacies necessary to read, <em>write</em> and participate in the Web - now and in the future?</strong> We've already <strong>[http://mzl.la/weblit started the thinking]</strong> but we want to go further and develop a web literacy standard that we can all align with and teach to. And we need your help. | |||
We want to reach people at web scale, and that means lots of different individuals and organizations teaching various skills and competencies - many of you are doing this already - but we need a way for it to roll up to something bigger. | |||
<strong>We need a way to ensure we're teaching the right things,</strong> to connect various options and help learners discover pathways, and of course, to find ways for us all to track our impact. That's where the standard comes in - we can build consensus around the overall learning map and then each chart our course against it. <strong>So, let's develop the standard and do this together.</strong> | |||
We're convening an <strong>[http://weblitstd.eventbrite.com online gathering]</strong> to kick-start work towards a learning standard for web literacy and build upon the work we've done so far in this area (and with [http://openbadges.org badges]). Be sure to join us to discuss where we want to go and find out ways for you or your organization to get involved. <strong>Make a point to get involved; we're counting on you!</strong> | |||
