* Creating an inventory of existing Mozilla-related educational material (e.g., at the [https://developer.mozilla.org Mozilla Developer Center] or elsewhere) that could be referenced by or repurposed for the Mozilla Education site.
* Identifying third-party materials (e.g., from [http://www.oercommons.org/ OER] sites or other sites focusing on participatory learning in an open source context) that would be of interest in a Mozilla context.
* Creating content for the Mozilla Education site, including new material, repurposed material, and links to material on other sites.
* Working with Mozilla localization teams to create localized versions of the Mozilla Education site.
