| ==Hive Networks== | | == Build Networks == |
| '''Target audience''': Advanced teacher and mentor individuals and organizations<br><br>
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Launch Hive Global''' as a team that will:
| | * Hive Global grows to 30 cities, fostering local communities of educators who teach web & digital literacy. |
| * '''Grow # of Hive cities from 15 to 25'''. Particularly in Asia and Africa (Bangalore and Mombasa).
| | * Further develop Hive platforms towards better Webmaker engagement, including feeding innovative content into broader Learning Networks initiatives |
| * '''Support MacArthur Foundation Cities of Learning initiative'''. Get teachers and mentors involved by establishing credentials that translate into career and college readiness through civic partnerships.
| |
| * '''Set up a Hive Lab model'''. Get teachers and mentors developing digital literacy tools and curriculum.
| |
| * '''Develop a set of Hive badges''' to recognize and motivate mentors. | |
| * '''Document the Hive model.''' So interested groups can test out Hive ideas in new cities.
| |
| * '''Deepen connection with existing Mozilla and Mozilla-aligned networks'''. Like Open Science, Policy and ReMo.
| |
| * Build off recent success stories. (e.g., Hive Pittsburgh launched Digital Corps to train people to teach webmaking. Hive Bangalore used webmaker clubs to draw interest from other partners and groups around a broader digital literacy network.)
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Mentor Community==
| |
| * Target market: professional educators and advanced mentors.
| |
| * In 2014, we will have built a community of ~10k teachers and mentors to develop, deliver and promote Webmaker. In 2015, we need to provide more structure and value to these ‘lead users’.
| |
|
| |
|
| * At a core, we will: a) evolve Maker Party into a year round Webmaker Clubs program; b) continue to improve curriculum increase the value of what they teach; c) and offer Mozilla ‘badges’ that recognize the best and most talented mentors.

|
| |
|
| * As a part of our ‘radical participation’ plan, we will build formal channels that turn this community into a ‘lab’ that helps develop and test the next generation of Webmaker software and content. Deep integration with broader digital mentor network
| | =Before & After= |
| | | * ''Before. Where do we stand now?'' |
| * On a platform level, we will continue to use and expand webmaker.org as a hub for our teacher and mentor audience. The current side will need to be shored up by a) better P2P communications tools / usage and b) better email communication and recognition to mentors. We will also encourage members of this network to participate in online mentoring in the Webmaker App.
| | ** 10 cities who share a model for connected learning and have been a testbed of some of Webmaker's best ideas & ground game. Lots of success to harvest and grow. |
| | | ** 5K contributors who share their web skills, hosted an event, remixed a teaching kit, or otherwise took action to teach the web. It's quite ad-hoc and no clear path for them individually and as a group. |
| =Milestones= | | * ''After. What this will look like in Dec 2015?'' |
| * ''(to come)'' | | ** 500 cities involved with ongoing learning network activities including 30 Hive cities and 400+ locales teaching club content. They are providing a sophisticated ground game to teach web & digital literacy, with higher quality resources and practices and a strong group identity with local context. |
| https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/spa/6c38yp3crbxni5b/p0bdcjnq.png
| | ** We have shipped a robust Web Literacy curriculum including content/programs from Hive that can be used to teach+assess 21st century skills. |
| | |
| =Key Collaborations / Dependencies=
| |
| ==Hive==
| |
| * '''Software''': depends on active integration between Hive Labs, webmaker mentors and Webmaker Product teams, for
| |
| ** a) labs concept to work and | |
| ** b) Webmaker software. To benefit from feedback from mentors / educators in Hive networks.
| |
| | |
| * '''Webmaker.org''': need better navigation, discoverability and intentionality on webmaker.org (or related properties) to reap the outcomes we want/need. Same for badges.
| |
| | |
| * Marketing: better integration with overall Webmaker marketing to tell the network/horizontal story of Mozilla’s work. (Building conditions for digital literacy to thrive through teaching and learning. And the programmatic/vertical thrust of webmaking via tools, curriculum and clubs, improving direct skills.)
| |
| | |
| * '''Fundraising''': need to secure additional funding for 2015+. $8M is already in the pipeline from MacArthur and NSF. Also, chance to expand Hives in Africa via Mastercard in late 2015. What else? | |
| ** Continued growth of flagship Hive in NYC through three more identified funders: Pinkerton, Butler and the NYC Mayor’s funds | |
| ** Taking over stewardship of Hive Bay Area opens up diverse, local and relevant funding opportunities
| |
| ** Building non-London based Hive communities in the U.K. (Kent, Manchester) through NESTA and other local funders
| |
| | |
| * '''Partnerships''': In established Hive cities, we'll increase partnership with other networks, government bodies and providers
| |
| | |
| * '''Mozilla Developer Network''': depends on how we better document and support pathways for entry-level developers/learner. And how we partner to guide advanced developers with interest in mentoring into the right networks.
| |
| | |
| * '''Open Science, Policy and News''': Depends on the cross-section of aligned goals, then planning on how to work on these programs together. Examples: Better linking organizations/institutions involved in multiple programs (e.g., libraries)
| |
| | |
| * '''ReMo''': Identify and work with reps drawn to webmaker/hive as a brand, but also for broader geo-located community-building around teaching and learning in digital literacy.
| |
| | |
| ==Mentors==
| |
| * '''Software''': depends on improved CRM for contributor management / email marketing. Needs to be a Mozilla-wide effort to make this better in 2015. Depends on MoFo product team for improvements to webmaker.org, including more on badges and in-platform mentoring. | |
| | |
| * '''Marketing''': depends on collaboration with MoCo engagement and others to running summer campaign (Maker Party+). | |
| | |
| * '''Partnerships''': depends partners for the growth and health of the network. Key partners in 2015 are: Coder Dojo, Digital Opportunity Trust and Hive (while hive is often not an external partner it is a large conduit and management service to large partnership base and needs to be relied on as such)
| |
| | |
| * '''Fundraising''': needs some level of outside funding, including replacement of the $500k MacArthur funding that has gone into Maker Party for the last two years. | |
|
| |
|
| * '''Mentor Network team:''' depends on collaborating and working closely with staff working on broader digital literacy network activation for cultivation of new mentors, markets and programs. | | =Q1 KPIs= |
| | * Retain aligned & locally active educators (goal: 4000) |
| | * Establish baseline for club leaders (goal: 40) |
| | * Establish baseline for club pilots (goal: 20 clubs) |
| | * 10 Hive cities |
