Learn to teach web literacy with free classes from Mozilla Firefox

Learn to teach web literacy with free classes from Mozilla Firefox | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"Mozilla, the non-profit that created Firefox, has created tools and resources to educate and empower people to understand the architecture, culture and citizenship of the web. The effort stems from a framework of skills and competencies–known as the web literacy map that addresses everything from basic web navigation and writing code to understanding the consequences of sharing data online and collaborating with others."

Beth Dichter's insight:

Would you like to become more web literate, to understand the way the web works? This new course from Mozilla and P2PU may be just what you were looking for!

Four modules are available and you may sign up for all of them or only one. They cover:

* Exploring - Learn about the theoretical framework and teaching methods and become aware of how the web works as an ecosystem.

* Building - Develop Open Education Resources for yourself and for others that embed web literacy in your content..

* Facilitating - Learn participatory learning techniques to teach digital and web literacy skills.

* Connecting - Make connections - Learn how to build relationships locally and globally to increase your impact.

The post by Lisa Nielson provides links to additional materials as well as a link that allows you to sign up.

"Never have human beings had so much open contact with others throughout the world on a 24/7 basis, yet at the same time, they are increasingly isolated in their urban environments.

Nevertheless, there are connections."

A thought provoking article that looks at trends in education, types of networks that exist today and how their impact, and much more.

I have been blogging for over three years now. I use my blog to: document my thoughts about educational technology and my journey as a connected teacher share educational resources, lesson plans,...

Beth Dichter's insight:

Silvia Langwitch raised an excellent question in this blog post. "How will I find out, if only English speakers read my thoughts, only the ones who feel comfortable in written English will respond?"

The image above is also available in Spanich and German. The post includes a number of questions and invites others to respond in their native language...leading to a global conversation and helping us connect, collaborate and communicate!
