I hope you&#8217;ll join me and other Mozillians from around the world who are just as committed to digital literacy &#8212; it&#8217;s a great opportunity to exchange knowledge and work together on how to best encourage the next generation of webmakers.<br \/>\n<strong>It&#8217;s called &#8220;Teach the Web.&#8221; <\/strong>It will run from May 2 to June 30. And because it&#8217;s an open online course, it&#8217;s easy to dive in and connect with others at any time. You can participate in weekly guided discussions, tackle hands-on activities, develop and remix teaching resources, and compare notes with other members of the Mozilla community. Together we will:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>explore new ways to teach digital literacy<\/strong>, tech skills and webmaking<\/li>\n<li><strong>connect<\/strong> with other techies, educators and mentors around the world<\/li>\n<li><strong>create<\/strong> your own educational resources that help people learn these skills<\/li>\n<li><strong>get ready for our global <a href=\"https:\/\/webmaker.org\/party\">Maker Party 2013<\/a><\/strong>. From June 15-September 15 we&#8217;ll be hosting thousands of community-led events and parties around the world.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Web is an amazing resource.
