Who we are

The Teach The Web team is embedded within the larger Webmaker team. Mozilla Webmaker builds tools, curriculum and communities that teach web literacy. The Teach the Web team's specialties within this offering include training, teaching kits, credentials and skills-mapping.

We work based on the following principles, which apply to each of our practices below:

• A process built on principles of co-design.
  • We prototype, playtest and remix.
• Focused on a global, peer-led community.
  • We are localized, global and culturally-specific.
• Working with open source, modular and easily remixable formats.
  • Whether it's the Web Literacy map, teaching kits, or training.

What we make

Training

Webmaker Training is a modular, remixable offering designed to teach people our pedagogies, web literacy skills and competencies, real world community building, and global engagement. Here's our Training Roadmap.

Unique training offerings:

Built to be tailored, participatory and collaborative.

We remix a variety of practices to create unique learning experiences. We decide what to learn and make together with our learners.

Create in a global, peer-led community.

Our online and offline learning experiences are designed by and for people who participate in a global movement to spread web literacy.

Working with open source, modular and easily remixable formats.

Webmaker Training's content and structures follows the principles of the Teach the Web team. Here's some reasons why.

Teaching Kits

A Teaching Kit is a modular, remixable collection of activities and resources that lead a mentor through the process of teaching web literacy skills and competencies. Here's our Kit Roadmap.

Unique kit offerings:

The kit process, built on principles of co-design.

Creators are encouraged to prototype, build together, playtest in communities and remix others' work.

A global, peer-led community of kit creators.

We ensure kits are localised, culturally-relevant and community-made.

Open source, modular and easily remixable kit formats.
