'''Interested in helping others make things on the web?'''


<b>You're in the right place. </b> We are so excited about what we've learned and experienced over the last 18 months of launching and building Mozilla Webmaker. We developed new webmaking tools (play with them [https://webmaker.org/en-US/tools/ here]) and shared our [http://commonspace.wordpress.com/2012/09/25/explaining-crisply/ thinking] throughout the process. We launched the 2012 Summer Code Party campaign and further engaged our Hive Learning Network to activate 600 educators across the globe to use, test, improve and teach others using our tools. Through this, it has become clear that what we need for Webmaker to continue to prosper is '''YOU!'''

We see the mentor community as the intersection of:


* '''Makers interested in learning'''
<!--Bullet Point: Webliteracy -->
* '''Educators interested in making'''
<div style="background-color: #FFFFFF; box-shadow: 0px 2px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0,0.25); border-top: 20px; border-radius: 5px;  color: grey; float:left; font-family:'Open Sans Light','Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 14px; height:420px; line-height: 20px; margin:20px; overflow:hidden; padding-top: 10px; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; position:relative; text-align:justify; width:328px;">


These two groups, makers and educators, are situated in two larger movements:  
<div style="font-size: 28px; letter-spacing: -1px; line-height: 100%; color: #53535B; text-align:center;">[[Webmaker/Teach/LiteracyResources |Digital Literacy]]</div>


* the '''"Maker Movement"''': with a DIY ethos and an "If you can't open it, you don't own it" approach. A strong culture of documentation and sharing, collaboration and remixing. Has roots in physical spaces and physical objects, but important ties to the web. Examples include: Maker Faire, hackerspaces, tinkerers in electronics, 3D printing, CNC and more.

* the '''"Learning Movement"''': challenges traditional education with its learner-centric, web-inspired approach to learning. A strong culture of peer learning, open course materials, and new kinds of assessment. Has roots in peer production, participation, networks of institutions & learners. Examples include: Massive Open Online Courses, YOUMedia spaces, instructors from computer clubs and more.

== What will we do together? ==
<!--Bullet Point: Youth and Participant Development-->
'''Hacktivate Learning!''' This is our siren call to educators who are motivated by the concept of the "4th R," web literacy, an open ethos and the Webmaker mission. "Hack" with us and help get others "activated" to learn by making. Let's take inspiration from the Summer Code Party and make it happen 365 days a year in classrooms, coffee shops, museums, libraries and parks, in cities and towns around the globe.

* This grassroots network will be a '''skunkworks incubator''' for radical ideas about learning, webmaking and mentoring.

* It will be powered by a '''Github for Learning Stuff,''' an open repository where mentors can rip, remix and repost materials.
* We'll run '''webmaking campaigns,''' '''train the trainer workshops,''' and other activities that grow this community.
* In cities where mentors and institutions want to team up, we'll help bring new '''Hive learning networks''' online. Hives are vibrant learning clusters; they are city labs and a place to see "making is learning" in action.
* We're dedicated to '''documentation and on-boarding new mentors,''' so many processes will be easily replicable, remixable and teachable.

== How will Hive Learning Networks and the mentor community work together? ==
<br>Best practices and techniques for working with youth and other learning audiences and participants.<br>
* '''Hive Learning Networks''' are clusters of people and institutions in a city that care about connected learning. They organize events and joint projects, and they share experiences locally and globally. Members of Hives are part of the mentor community, although not all mentors will be formerly part of Hives. Hive partners believe that:
</div>
** School is not the sole provider in a community’s educational system
<!--End Bullet Point: Youth and Participant Development-->
** Youth need to be both sophisticated consumers and active producers of digital media
** Learning should be driven by youth’s interests
** Digital media and technology are the glue and amplifier for connected learning experiences
** Out-of-school time spaces are fertile grounds for learning innovation
** Organizations must collaborate to thrive
* '''Webmaker Mentors''' may be part of Hive Learning Networks, aspire to start one in their city, or just be individuals who care about making and learning. Hive members and mentors share experiences, increasing the breadth and depth of knowledge about learning. Mentors are encouraged to visit and participate in nearby Hives, to try out smaller test events in their city to see if Hives are viable there, or to continue their work individually with the feedback and support of these networks.

*[[Webmaker/Teach/LiteracyResources |Web Literacy]]: Resources that either leverage webmaking skills in a project-based context to teach other learning objectives or resources that teach various aspects of digital literacy (good search, copy paste, etc.)
<div style="margin-left:5px;margin-right:10px;">
*[[Webmaker/Teach/BestPractices |Youth and Participant Development]]: Resources that catalogue best practices, techniques, etc. that demonstrate how to work with youth or other specific target groups. Participant management, digital citizenship, best practices, etc.
*[[Webmaker/Teach/MakeCreativity |Creativity/Production]]: Resources and materials that guide in teaching participants how to build, develop skills, ability and desire to create/produce things. Example: It is hard to build a webpage without basic ideation and design skills. It is hard to make a good Popcorn piece without some skills in video making. This is basically a catch-all for resources that fall under a broader "making" moniker: Media-making, physical computing, games, electronics...
