==The Web Literacy Map==

The Web Literacy Map is a map of the territory of web literacy. It constitutes the raw material from which people like ''you'' can make resources, curricula and activities to help teach the web. Our working definition of 'web literacy' is purposely inclusive and wide: ''the skills and competencies required to read, write and participate effectively on the web.''

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boys_%26_Girls_Clubs_of_America Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s] (BGCA) mission is to inspire and enable all young people to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens - especially those from disadvantaged circumstances. In 2013, BGCA had the opportunity to re-image 'Club Tech', its longstanding technology education programming. The aim was to identify technology competencies a member could learn, develop and refine over their years as a member of the Club. The Web Literacy Map provided BGCA with enough detail to identify target competencies.  

These materials were piloted from February, 2014 through April 2014, and resulted in a number of edits and modifications to experiences. The full educational technology initiative will be launched in a webcast planned for August 2014. Further information can be found from 5th May 2014 at http://myfuture.net.
