The new Teach The Web community call focus on the theory and practice of teaching the web. We meet every Thursday at 10:00ET \/ 15:00 UTC<\/strong> and are joined by teachers, librarians, after\u00a0 school educators, non-profit organizers, artists, technologists and\u00a0 others who want to share skills and empower learners as creators of the\u00a0 web. This call merges the previous Web Literacy and Webmaker mentor calls.
\nMoving forward, we’ll post a short recap of each call on this blog, and will point out ways for you to provide feedback, connect with guest speakers or otherwise get involved. You can also view the archived agenda and notes by visiting our wiki.
\nThis week, our first guest was Marc Lesser<\/a>, Senior Director of Learning Design at MOUSE<\/strong>, an organization that empowers underserved youth across the US to learn, lead and create with technology, preparing them with skills essential for their academic and career success. They’re also one of the founding members of Hive NYC Learning Network<\/a>.
\nMOUSE recently received a grant<\/a> to develop original content and learning resources that align with the Web Literacy Map<\/a>.<\/strong> Their focus is on activity-based resources for middle and high school-aged students in both formal and informal settings. They are also hosting a Webmaking Summer Institute<\/a> where they’ll bring educators from across their network to NYC to discuss web literacy, learn how to use Webmaker tools, then create teams within their schools to teach the web to their peers. Their hope is to create a template for other organizations to host similar trainings.<\/p>\n

Next Kat Baybrooke<\/a> from the Webmaker Community Team shared that we’re in the process of re-designing Teaching Kits<\/strong>, and looking for feedback on the current design brief. Mozilla is looking to offer more modular build options, simpler back-end code, usability across devices, ways to address attribution and more. Please leave comments on the design brief<\/a>, or email Kat<\/a> with feedback or questions.
\nCassie MacDaniel from the Webmaker Design Team is working on building better search experience<\/strong>, and is curious about current or desired search capabilities on Webmaker.org.<\/p>\n
