- We need to be able to read as well as write
Program or be programmed

The 4th "R" and Beyond
We need to understand the web, which means understanding how computers work, but Web Literacies are also about the social skills that go with living in a digital world. Collaboration, Storytelling, Community, Civic Engagement, Self-Expression, Conviction, Critical Thinking...
Spreading a Movement
believes that we can all spread Web Literacies by learning and making together. That's why we run 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.
