\nAt Webmaker<\/a>, a group of us has been scheming and discussing potential solutions to a key design challenge — how can we empower educators to teach the web using peer-to-peer methods in regions where computers and web connectivity aren’t a given<\/b>?
\nEnter this Design Canvas<\/a>, an analog effort to help makers prototype Webmaker Teaching Kits<\/a> together on paper before going online. I situate this Canvas within a larger hands-on prototyping exercise<\/a> which implements some pretty radical participatory design methods<\/b>, in the hope that it can improve the in-person experiences of mentors and participants alike…
\nBest of all, this Design Canvas<\/a> and other activities like it will also help us build a brand new (and very salient) Lo-Fi Teaching Kit<\/a>, codesigned with a team of Webmaker community members, that will highlight a series of remixable, modular group activities that empower educators to address different parts of the Web Literacy Map<\/a> using analog materials.

\nWhat I find most exciting about these efforts is the fact that in each case, the community has really been a core partner<\/b> from the beginning. The Design Canvas activity has already been translated into Spanish<\/a> thanks to community member Alvar Maciel<\/a>, and it is being prototyped at various events, including a digital leadership training<\/a> for National Citizen Service youth in London recently facilitated by the ever-talented Laura Hilliger<\/a>.

\nNext on the agenda is the creation of a paper-based canvas to help build out more granular Teaching Kit activities<\/a>, and further work on the Lo-Fi Teaching Kit with our community co-authors.<\/p>\n
