Webmaker/HOWTO/Teaching Kits
Educate the next generation of webmakers with hackable teaching kits.
Our resources make it easy for anyone, anywhere, to teach a customized webmaking session.
Use the kits
These teaching kits are full of activities and resources to help you facilitate learning sessions with a focus on webmaking. You'll find everything you need, from a pedagogical overview to tips on assessing participants' progress. Print them out, load them on your tablet or phone or simply use them as inspiration. Visit the Additional Resources section for extras like an HTML cheat sheet or basic instructions on learning JavaScript. We've also got tips on organizing an event and event facilitation.
Teach the kits
Mozilla embraces [Connected Learning], [constructivism] and other [progressive] pedagogies. Rooted in the concept of making as learning, the teaching kits encourage hands-on activities and peer-to-peer learning and exchange. They also promote webmaking as a tenet of open culture. Mozilla is deeply committed to identifying the skills, competencies and literacies necessary to read, write and participate on the web, and our teaching kits align with the [Web Literacy Standard].
Hack the kits
Our teaching kits are 100% remixable. We've made it easy to expand the areas where your learners need more guidance, ignore the pieces that don't apply and add in completely new material as you see fit. Simply click the Remix button in the upper right corner of any kit and customized it to meet your needs. We hope you share your results with the [Mentor Community]. We're here to support you, hear your ideas and push the boundaries of education.
A note about technology.
Everything at Mozilla happens on the web. Not only do we publish on the web, but many of the tools we use exist as web applications rather than installed programs on our computers. Because of this, it is critical that you run up-to-date web browsers when working with Webmaker tools. Our resources are designed to support the latest versions of modern browsers like www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ Mozilla Firefox or www.google.com/chrome/ Google Chrome.
