Disclaimers: the Summit and Mozfest are pretty much back to back, so please excuse me for not being faster with these posts. Did you read Part 1?

#teachtheweb: so you want to run a cMOOC
The #teachtheweb experience was about gathering people together to learn and share and collaborate. It was about people who care about the web and web literacy and working together to find ways to spread skills to learners. This post is a reflection on the meta structures and processes that created the experience. It’s also only mildly [&hellip
Reflecting on #teachtheweb Week 1: Making as Learning
Last week we launched #teachtheweb, a Mozilla Open Online Collaboration (MOOC – more commonly “Massive Open Online Course”).

Traveling, running events, coworking with colleagues, and conferencing. This post is a breakdown of what my intentions were with all the stuff I’ve been [&hellip
the Mentor Community Says…
Last month a group of us at Mozilla scheduled a series of interviews with people in the Webmaker community who are engaging on the level of what we call “mentors”. These are the people that are actively participating in spreading the Movement. People who are running webmaking events, trying out ideas, giving feedback and making [&hellip

The technical structure of cyberspace is open and decentralized. Therefore, multiple perspectives can interact with each other, making the Web a multicultural transformation space. Through this external networking of [&hellip
