Here&#8217;s three resources we&#8217;ve come up with:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The <a href=\"http:\/\/weblitmapper.webmakerprototypes.org\/\">Web Literacy Mapper<\/a> <em>(or &#8216;WebLitMapper&#8217; for short)<\/em><\/li>\n<li>A <a href=\"https:\/\/laura.makes.org\/thimble\/web-literacy-learning-pathways\">Web Literacy Learning Pathways<\/a> resource<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/Webmaker\/WebLiteracyMap\/Align\">Draft guidelines<\/a> for aligning with the Web Literacy Map<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>These three tools and resources are very much still in development at the moment but let&#8217;s take a closer look at them as we&#8217;d appreciate\u00a0your feedback.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>1. The WebLitMapper<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/weblitmapper.webmakerprototypes.org\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11257\" src=\"http:\/\/webmakerblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Web-Literacy-Mapper-1.png\" alt=\"Web Literacy Mapper\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThis prototype by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/toolness\">Atul Varma<\/a> is a way of tagging resources around the web with the competency layer of the\u00a0Web Literacy Map. Once logged in with your <a href=\"http:\/\/webmaker.org\">Webmaker<\/a> account, you can copy-and-paste the URL, choose which competencies it fits with (e.g. &#8216;Open practices&#8217;) and add some additional details.<br \/>\nFor added convenience, the WebLitMapper can be used as a bookmarklet so that you can tag things as you browse the web. There are already a good deal of community-contributed resources in there! &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/weblitmapper.webmakerprototypes.org\/\">go check it out!<\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>2. Web Literacy Learning Pathways<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/laura.makes.org\/thimble\/web-literacy-learning-pathways\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11260\" src=\"http:\/\/webmakerblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Web-Literacy-Learning-Pathways-1.png\" alt=\"Web Literacy Learning Pathways\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThis\u00a0resource was put together by <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/epilepticrabbit\">Laura Hilliger<\/a> and focuses on the skills layer of the Web Literacy Map. Learners can click on one of the skills and choose either <em>&#8216;What should I know?&#8217;<\/em> or <em>&#8216;What can I learn next?&#8217;. <\/em>This visually highlights a basic learning pathway. Check it out <a href=\"https:\/\/laura.makes.org\/thimble\/web-literacy-learning-pathways\">here<\/a>.<br \/>\nAs this was made using <a href=\"http:\/\/thimble.webmaker.org\">Mozilla Thimble<\/a>, you can hit the <strong>Remix<\/strong> button <a href=\"https:\/\/dajbelshaw.makes.org\/thimble\/LTc3NjY2NzEzNg==\/web-literacy-learning-pathways\">as I did<\/a>. We&#8217;ll be doing some additional work on the skills underpinning each competency in the run-up to the <a href=\"http:\/\/mozillafestival.org\">Mozilla Festival<\/a> later this year.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>3. Draft alignment guidelines<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/Webmaker\/WebLiteracyMap\/Align\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11261\" src=\"http:\/\/webmakerblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Webmaker-WebLiteracyMap-Align-MozillaWiki.png\" alt=\"Draft alignment guidelines\" width=\"1527\" height=\"905\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nThis resource is an attempt to scaffold people&#8217;s alignment with the Web Literacy Map. We&#8217;re working on four key questions, some mini case studies and a\u00a0Web Literacy Canvas. As it&#8217;s still early days, we&#8217;d very much appreciate feedback as well as any examples you may be able to give from your context.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>We&#8217;d love to know what you think about these tools and resources. Please do bear in mind that we&#8217;re sharing them early for your feedback and they&#8217;re very much still in development.<br \/>\nWhat works? What needs changing?
