Understanding the Web is a part of being educated.
- Klafki said you are educated when you can think critically about key problems
- The Web holds (most of) the world's information and humanity's knowledge
- It gives us an infrastructure to consider those problems and to help solve them (but only if we have the competencies and skills to do so)
- We need to be able to read as well as write

Blended-Learning
- Both the production and consumption of learning materials is blended
- various workshop formats
- in-person crash courses
- online and offline materials
Spreading a Movement
believes that we can all spread Web Literacies by learning and making together. That's why we run in-person trainings and events like the Mozilla Festival.
We live in a digital world.
- Our global knowledge ecosystem is the World Wide Web
- The Internet has become an important piece of our infrastructure
- We use the Internet to communicate, to work, to make decisions
- We need it to fully participate
the digital world is GIGANTIC
and Mozilla is rather small.
But Mozillians are passionate, and passion can lead to a better world.
