Building off pilot events run by the Hive Learning Network in New York and Chicago and content created for various Webmaker events around the world, these kits are full of information and resources to help you facilitate sessions or classes that have a focus on webmaking.
You’ll be collaborating and making things for the web using the Mozilla Webmaker tools. Each section explains things you’ll want to consider as you prepare for your webmaking activities.
Learners should be able to navigate a computer and the web confidently and should be eager to try new creative production techniques. They should be interested in the basic building blocks of the web. Finally, if you would like to produce your own films (as opposed to remixing or commenting on existing video footage), you should consider looking at the helpful guides at Make Internet TV.
We have also provided sample lessons, projects and activities. And to help make your event as “plug and play” as possible, we’ve included a Resources section with documents you can print out, whether that be sample badges to give your participants or a cheat sheet for HTML.
The kits are meant to serve as a jumping off point for you. We hope that you will ignore pieces that you don’t feel apply and expand areas where you feel your learners need more guidance. In short, we hope that you will take the kits, hack them, run events and then let us know how we can improve the base resources.
