Mozilla is a global community of technologists, teachers and makers working together to keep the Internet open, accessible and editable. We collaborate on a global basis to ensure everyone can be informed contributors and creators of the web. This act of human collaboration across an open platform we believe to be essential to individual growth and our collective future.
The aim of this resource is to help you take the first steps on the journey to using the [https://webmaker.org/literacy Web Literacy Map] in practice. It will help you contextualise the 'raw material' of the Web Literacy Map to be something that you can use to help teach the web to your target audience.


Mozilla helps people build, not just consume, the technology, media and information that makes up the web. Whether through the thousands of volunteers who write code for Firefox or the growing community that is designing courses for teaching the web, Mozilla strives for an Internet that is:
<div style="background:#ccc; border:3px grey solid; padding:15px; width:50%; margin-bottom:20px;">Accompanying this resource is a '''Web Literacy Canvas''' ''(forthcoming)'' that helps you plan the ways in which you and/or your organisation can align with the Web Literacy Map. If you are planning to align using [https://openbadges.org Open Badges] then you may also find the [http://digitalme.co.uk/badgecanvas Badge Canvas] from Digital Me useful.</div>
 
* '''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
 
The development of Mozilla products such as the [https://mozilla.org/firefox Firefox] web browser and [https://mozilla.org/firefoxos Firefox OS] for mobile phones rely upon community involvement and contribution. The [https://webmaker.org/literacy Web Literacy Map] is no different: it has been created by Mozilla in consultation with a community of stakeholders from a range of backgrounds, including formal education, informal education, and industry.
 
The aim of this resource is to help you take the first steps on the journey to using the Web Literacy Map in practice. It will help you contextualise the 'raw material' of the Web Literacy Map to be something that you can use to help teach the web to your target audience.


We will begin with an overview of the Web Literacy Map, before asking some questions about you and your context. These are structured using the approach taken in David Perkins' Harvard class ''Inquiry''. It will be useful if you take your time to answer the questions with (a) someone else from your organization, and (b) any relevant documentation (e.g. curricula, policies, mission statements) to hand.

Just like the web, the Web Literacy Map aims to be a universal resource that can work across contexts. However, it's important for ''you'' to ensure that your resources, activities and curricula are highly contextualized and relevant to learners. The following questions will help guide you pick some areas to focus on. It might be worth doing this with other people - including the learners themselves.

Is there anything else that your target audience need to learn ''alongside'' these competencies to help make them relevant / make sense? What kinds of activities do you currently have on offer that could help scaffold learning for your target audience?
