Hacktivate Learning
Who is this for? Educators of all shapes and sizes! With the recently identified focus on building a networked community of educators "hacktivated" by both Mozilla's operational approach and Webmaking learning mission, a team is being brought together to engage both individual educators as well as education systems and cohorts.
We seek to hacktivate educators in both formal and informal learning spaces.
Educators already teaching webmaking
We would like to:
- help guide your content towards important web literacies via tools/curriculum/teaching culture
- help you hack our content to fit with your own learning objectives
- help you expand your efforts through promotion/showcasing and by guiding local webmakers to your organizations
- hear about your successes and facilitate a culture of sharing
Educators not yet teaching webmaking
We would like to:
- inspire you that this would be fun to teach
- make it easy for you to teach
- help you learn more skills
- provide relevant tools, curriculum, etc.
- help you hack our content to fit with your own learning objectives
- show you that webmaking can be inserted into ANY topic
- hear about your successes and facilitate a culture of sharing
Learners becoming the educators
We would like to:
- encourage existing educators to identify these stars and provide a single pathway once they've been identified
- encourage webmakers to be these stars
- lower barriers to teaching by teaching newbie educators how to host learning events, hackjams and create networks.
- hook you up with existing teachers to learn from
Resources
- Webmaking Resources: Explicit resources that leverage webmaking/code as a teaching goal.
- Digital/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)
- Youth and Participant Development: Resources that catalogue best practices, techniques, etc that how to work with youth or other specific target groups. Ice breakers, participant management, digital citizenship, best practices, etc
- 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 skills on ideation, design etc. 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 broader "making" moniker: Media making, physical computing, electronics...
How can I contribute?
Everyone can pitch in! We're always looking for innovate ways to teach web literacies.
There are a ton of ways to contribute, and all of them are super valuable for this budding community:
- Write a blog post that helps people teach a specific aspect of webmaking or your reflections on Hacktivation as a concept
- Shoot some video of learning in action
- Pitch in and help a project embed learning into their tool/web presence/strategy
- Help us create new resources, publish your own learning materials and resources here on the wiki.
- Share your ideas, successes, failures.
- Share with each other and with Mozilla as a whole.
- Contribute to the conversation of Making Webmakers.
