Webmaker Training is an online initiative designed to strengthen the community and help people contribute meaningful resources and actions to the Webmaker Project.
==What we need==
 
We need people to engage and support new participants in [http://training.webmakerprototypes.org Webmaker Training], to help each other teach and learn open attitudes, online communication skills, as well as digital making skills, teaching skills and more.
There are so far 2 scheduled online Trainings: May 12 – June 8 and July 21st to August 17th, and 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.

Teach and learn creative ways to teach web literacy, digital skills and open practices with people from around the world. #TeachTheWeb
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.

Webmaker Training is part of Mozilla's commitment to help educators and others teach vital web literacy skills. #TeachTheWeb
 
How does this opportunity support our 2014 Organizational Goals?
I think 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 I think that 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.
==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 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.

How does this project support the Mozilla mission, if applicable?
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 [http://webmaker.org Webmaker] and [http://openbadges.org 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.
We want a web that is open, accessible and ours. In order to achieve that, more of us need to understand its basic mechanics, its culture and what it means to be a citizen of the web.
