Other folks don\u2019t know what \u201copen\u201d means, and thus they don\u2019t know they can contribute … Continue reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":144,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[378228],"tags":[330394,410,28003,359965],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/foundation-archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11177"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/foundation-archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/foundation-archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/foundation-archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/144"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/foundation-archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11177"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/foundation-archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11177\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/foundation-archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/foundation-archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/foundation-archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nOur community\u2013a globally diverse group of passionate educators and technologists\u2013believe in the web as a platform for learning, sharing, connecting and making, and they believe that open practice and participation are key elements to becoming a citizen in the digital world. They are eager to spread web literacy in their local contexts, but participating in the global movement means that one needs to navigate through a complex and sometimes confusing ecosystem of digital-human communication.
\nWe’re planning and designing a new training program to give people an easy in to the types of online communication and participation I\u2019m talking about. We want people to experiment and fail forward. We\u2019d like online components to support offline actions and vice versa. We want the experience to be centered around making and connecting around what you make. This is also the reason that we are trying to encourage a peer-to-peer aspect of learning.
\n
\nTo help us do that, we’re working with\u00a0a group of incredible connected educators at P2PU<\/a>, who are helping us plan and test a platform that has peer-to-peer interaction baked in. We\u2019ll be running ongoing feedback and testing sessions through this open Wiki <\/a>and by talking about this program in the Teach the Web Community Calls<\/a>.
\nWe\u2019re imagining what remixing learning to help people teach the web looks like. Imagine if you could easily copy a single module, remix it to add your own lens, branding or curriculum and publish it. Then imagine that that action earned you a badge. Ideally, you will be able to save your new module to your Webmaker profile, thereby giving you a URL where your module exists.
\nWhen this functionality is working, we\u2019ll have an Open Educational Ecosystem that has learner-focused resources (starter makes), full scale lesson plans for in the classroom (Teaching Kits), and a courseware platform (Training Modules) for online learning. And the icing on the cake? It’s all remixable, it\u2019s all truly open and it\u2019s all built with the Webmaker community.
\nTo get involved<\/strong>, you can join our community calls<\/a> or post your interest to any one of our monitored channels (#teachtheweb, #makerparty, @webmaker<\/a>, the G+ group<\/a>, the Webmaker Newsgroup<\/a>\u2026). And if those options don\u2019t appeal to you, you can send me an email<\/a> and I\u2019ll help you get started!
