Description

This Teaching Kit is designed to help learners create their own event agendas and document what they plan on doing with Teaching Kits, Activities and Open Educational Resources.

Learning objectives

Learner will be able to:

  • Create learner profiles
  • Outline learning objectives they’re interested in teaching
  • Remix and create participatory activities to introduce specific skills and topics
  • Document learning materials using templates
  • Give/receive constructive criticism in the digital space
  • Use critique to improve their work
  • Collaborate better
  • Use Webmaker tools to create OERs
  • Recognize the Web Literacy Standard competencies
  • Embed web literacy skills and webmaking with other topics
  • Align content to the Web Literacy Map

Learner will understand that:

  • We can add the teaching and learning of web literacy competencies into any subject or topic.
  • Working openly means you release early and often to improve your own practice.
  • Webmaking intermingles social skills, technical skills and topical knowledge.
  • Being part of a community means you can improve your practice and help improve other’s as well.
  • Inviting people into your work is a good way to give them agency to contribute.

What you'll make together

We'll use the Webmaker tools to create teaching kits and activities that learners can use at their local events. We'll make:

  • An Thimble page detailing various learner profiles.
  • A Teaching Kit with several activities and supporting media.

Preparation

You need a large room that can comfortably fit all your participants in a circle. Small break out rooms are a plus. Optional: a projector to show demos.

It is also recommended to have a team of co-facilitators who can help shape and run the agenda with you. We recommend 1 facilitator to 5 participants.

Assessment and review

  • Discussion questions:
    • How can you adapt a resource and open it to your learners? How can you hack your learning space to inspire more open learning?
    • How can we mix online and offline activities to get learners leveling up in the entire breadth of web literacy and open culture?
    • How can remix invite learning?
    • How should we balance collaborative work with individual work?
    • Sharing. Have you posted your work to the Webmaker G+ Community? Did you tweet with the #teachtheweb hashtag? Are you a member of the Webmaker Newsgroup?
