There are a lot of thoughtful interactions happening inside the #TeachTheWeb discussion: Casual Awesomeness via Doug Belshaw and giphy.com It’s been a great week, looking forward to MORE!! Webmaker Training: Teach the Web. First, a bit of background to set the stage....There are some core ideas that underpin the Mozilla Webmaker “way” of teaching.
We’ll sum them up for you in short order.. Making is Learning We are all makers. We cook, sew, construct, write, play music, tinker, paint, tell stories. We engage in our world through the creation of thousands of artifacts that allow others to understand our outlooks and world views. Throughout our process, we learn.

Popcorn Maker is a free and open web app for video editing and remix. Kids pull in audio or video "base" layers of media from sites like SoundCloud, Vimeo, or Youtube, and then add text, images, and other multimedia bits (like maps or Wikipedia summaries) to remix and enrich the source material. Popcorn Maker looks and behaves like a video editor you'd expect to find installed on your own computer. Kids compose the video in the middle of the screen and use a sidebar on the right to drag in media.

What. Nobody puts Solange in the corner! We think Solange took her sister’s lyrics to heart ‘all the single ladies, now put your hands up’. Seriously though physical abuse of any kind is wrong, lol!

I personally find "the Audrey test" a bit off-putting, and I'm trying to figure out why that is.
I think part of it is that I feel like it's actually anti-maker, broadly communicating the notion "you need to know all these things about educational theory before making any kind of learning experience", as opposed to just building something and learning from it. Well, perhaps "just building something" is part of the Silicon Valley philosophy that Audrey is railing against. Files/CSEDbinary.pdf. Webmaker Training Participants. "The Audrey Test": Or, What Should Every Techie Know About Education? - Teach The Web Discussion. "The Audrey Test": Or, What Should Every Techie Know About Education? I want us to set the bar really high when it comes to education technology -- both in its development and its implementation.
I don't think it's too much to ask. I mean, we're talking about teaching and learning here, and while I believe strongly we should all be lifelong learners, most often when we talk about ed-tech, we're talking about kids.

You can use the included links to go deeper into each of these topics. The Web is for Making (not just Consuming) When we think of the Web, we tend to think of it as a technical infrastructure and a series of services that allow us to connect with one another and share digital artifacts.
The Web is human knowledge documented. A very, very large amount of human knowledge. The [Web Literacy Map][8] is a tool that can help you develop these competentcies in learners and nurture participatory learning. -- Doug Belshaw. Events. Events.
