messaging document === Our Principles === We believe that empowering human collaboration across open platforms is essential to individual growth and our collective future. The Webmaker Community team is '''committed to Mozilla's mission''' to build an Internet that is: * '''Knowable''': it’s transparent–we can see it and understand it* '''Interoperable:''' it presents opportunity to play and innovate* '''Ours:''' it’s open to everyone and we define it We will be '''guided by the Connected Learning principles''' that advocate for learning that is: * '''Production centered:''' it results in deeper learning through making* '''Openly networked:''' it is linked and supported across school, home and community* '''Shared purpose:''' it harnesses the power of the information age the web to foster collaboration around common interests Weaving together these principles, we aim to: * '''Shape''' environments around creativity, innovation and collaboration* '''Build''' products, programs and practices that help more people learn through making* '''Empower communities''' to participate and iterate on this work* '''Teach and learn''' in ways that are open and give people agency over their own lives === Why Web Literacy === Our experiences, whether digital or analog, are informed by the web. It has become integral to how we see the world and interact with one another. '''Whether unconsciously or overtly, the web is making us, and we are making it.''' Teaching and learning is not immune to this shift; often, people are fearful rather than empowered. '''How do we improve how people learn with, about and because of the web?''' We believe it is '''essential to become web literate.''' This means growing our understanding of the: * '''culture''' of the web* '''mechanics''' of the web* '''citizenship''' of the web Importantly, '''web literacy is a holistic worldview.''' It goes beyond simply "learning to code". Instead, web literacy acknowledges the blurring between online and offline, and it uses the web to interplay with the world in complex ways. === The Story So Far === To address this, we are '''convening individuals and organizations through networked practice to lead a movement to know more, do more and do better.''' In January 2013, we launched our first iteration. The Webmaker Community began '''testing strategies''' and programs to '''catalyze a global web literacy movement with local roots.''' We teamed up existing initiatives, like the '''Hive Learning Network''' and the '''Summer Code Party,''' as well as piloted new offerings, like the '''Teach the Web MOOC''' and a '''map for Web Literacy.''' Now, one year later, '''these programs continue to spread and scale.''' === [[Roadmap | Our Roadmap]] === Our community members seek to: * level up their web literacy* build and share tools for teaching* gain peers and networks of practice* participate in coordinated actions* identify with a movement that's globally leveraged and locally contextualized In return, we support and offer: * An open network of networks. Connect to people and organizations seeking to collaborate and innovate. [* Webmaker.org. A holistic and impactful product offering focused on Web Literacy. We will constantly iterate on this offering to surface curricula, tools, badges and user channels that allow our users to become producers of the web. With this product, we will create a differentiated "Web Literacy" space that is parallel to the "learn to code" movement.
