[Caryl Bigenho]

Hi Folks…
I thought some of you creative types might enjoy this free online learning experience presented by Mozilla. You can try it and if you don't like it… just stop or take it next year!
I'm signing up.

			Starting next Monday, May 12th, Mozilla will begin offering a free, online learning experience that marks the evolution of the successful TeachTheWeb MOOC we ran last year. It's called Webmaker Training, and even if you participated in the MOOC last year, this is another opportunity for you to expand your network, share your work and help others learn valuable skills--and you're likely to learn something along the way too.  
		
			 
		
			Many of you are amazing makers who have a wide variety of web and digital skills and value what it means to work in the open.  We invite you to use your skills and knowledge to mentor people and engage with one another in our wonderful community.
		
			 
		
			Our new Webmaker Training is a series of four, week-long courses, peer powered by P2PU. You can mix and match–join one course or participate in them all. What you will do:
		
			
					share your knowledge with the community at large, by engaging with people in the online forum: http://discourse.webmakerprototypes.org
			
		
			
					create open educational resources, curriculum and teaching activities related to your area of expertise
			
		
			
					connect with and learn alongside other mentors and educators around the world
			
		
			
					get training for Maker Party, our global web literacy campaign kicking off July 15
			
		
			Click here to sign up: http://mzl.la/training
		
			 
		
			Everyone  is welcome and no experience is required. This is a free, open and fun opportunity for teachers, informal educators, developers, designers and Mozilla community members to make and learn together, in an effort to create a more web literate world. 
		
			 
		
			How does it work?
		
			
					1. Pick a course.  Review the descriptions and sign up for one or more. Each explores a  new topic, with opportunities to create content and open educational  resources.
			
		
			
					2. Get started.  Read the course materials, then click "Make" for hands-on and  web-based  activities that help you gain new technical and creative  skills.
			
		
			
					3. Connect with others.  Log into Discourse–our online forum where you can connect with the  Mozilla Webmaker team and other participants to co-design and find  support. 
			
		
			
					4. Share.  Share what you make with the community using the #teachtheweb tag and  offer feedback to others. This is true peer-to-peer learning.
			
		
			
					5. Join each week.  Go at your own pace, but you can also join us in real time for weekly  video hangouts (Mondays) and the #teachtheweb community call  (Thursdays).
			
		
			 
		
			For a step-by-step walk through of how it works, check out this page I made using Thimble (feel free to remix it to create your own how-to): 
		
			 https://laura.makes.org/thimble/LTE5MzI3ODc3MTI=/how-to-participate-in-webmaker-training
		
			 
		
			We hope you'll join us to teach and learn how to integrate the mechanics, culture  and citizenship of the web in classrooms and community centers,  during workshops or events. 
		
			 
		
			Remember, the first course starts on May 12th, and you can sign up and find more details at:

			We look forward to your participation!
		
			 
		
			Best,
		
			Laura
