Contribute to Webmaker Training
A little Background
is a program that will help spread Web Literacy by training people on how to teach the web. It's an online initiative designed to strengthen the community and help people contribute meaningful resources and actions to the Webmaker Project.
[ Webmaker/Training | Check out the Roadmap]
What we need
We need people to engage and support new participants in Webmaker Training, to help each other teach and learn open attitudes, online communication skills, as well as digital making skills, teaching skills and more.
How it helps contributors
Contributors can learn from each other and the public, while broadcasting their skills and interests to a global community. They will level up and feel the joy of helping other people level up too.
Qualities/skills the contributor should have
We need "self starters" in Webmaker Training. We have tons of different opportunities, but we need people who express their interest and get started. The idea is that contribution is equal to participation, with very active contributors being the people that help new contributes become active.
Specific opportunities
- Evangelism: help push the theoretical understandings of Open cultures in academic, political and social circles in an effort to change the way we, culturally, think about teaching and learning in the 21st Century as well as policy and common action.
- Writing, designing or developing: help curate and make open educational resources that teach web literacy at multiple levels, both online and offline. This can include everything from video-based tutorials to exploratory projects to innovative demos. Basically, if someone can use the creation to illustrate a point or help a learner grasp a concept, we can package it as an OER.
- Teaching: Run online and offline events that spread open attitudes, digital skills and web literacy and evangelizing.
- Connecting/Broadcasting/Networking: Share local actions back with the community to inspire and to help Mozilla tell the story of Mozilla, the Open Web and Open Education, build local networks to strengthen local teaching and learning.
Even more specific
How it supports our 2014 goals
Webmaker Training is relevant in:
- Invest in Sustainability
- Grow Adoption of Webmaker & Open Badges
- Enable Communities that have Impact
Training is explicitly mentioned in "enable communities that have impact", and training people to think and contribute to an open community is a large investment in sustainability. Since we use Webmaker and Open badges to help people who are not already a part of it come into the open source world, it's quite obvious that we'll grow the adoption of these two projects.
