# While the kids are learning about remixing or taking first steps into webmaking using Thimble, talk to parents/play a game/role play to help them understand why webmaking is important to them as well as their kids and Open Web ethos (can be a very short activity/discussion). A lighting talk, discussion, conversation on what we all believe in terms of webmaking can serve as an orientation and validation for why they are there in the first place. The parents are a self selected group, so they are already interested in the skills their children are learning. Give them context as to why this is important and showing them examples of webmaking. Ask them what they WANT to learn about webmaking. | |||
# Instructions and making on/with the tools their kids are using and introduction to HTML/CSS for their own benefit. This might use Thimble and the XRay Goggles as well. Also intros to other cool stuff on the web that they might use with their kids at a later date. Might suggest starting a Tumblr with their kids about X. Conceptually marry parenting and webmaking (make them laugh with online chore charts or "have you brushed your teeth" kind of language). | |||
# Get parents making with their kids! Let the kids teach the parents and vice versa. | |||
# Facilitators should keep note of what resources they used, and what kind of resources would have been helpful. | |||
