Webmaker Training Starts May 12th!

Join our free, online Webmaker Training!

This learning experience is all about connection. It is about connecting with other people who are passionate about spreading digital and web literacies. It is the interaction with the people around you that will make this a successful learning experience. Webmaker Training is meant to be a social collaboration, rather than a solo deep dive into content.

There are four modules, think of them as separate courses, to help people master the theory behind Webmaker, the Webmaker tools and curriculum, the art of participatory learning, and the technical and social skills necessary to collaborate and work in the open.

Each module will be facilitated by Webmaker and P2PU for a week, but the fun never stops! You can participate however you wish and receive notices only for the module(s) you’re interested in. In the end, Webmaker Training is what you make of it!

Join us LIVE:

• Each week we will host a Twitter Chat using #teachtheweb.
• Each week we will host a HOMAGO session that will be broadcast live and archived on YouTube.
• Each week will use a large section of the TeachTheWeb call to discuss the content and concepts.

 Webmaker Training:

• Exploring Module: Starting May 12th and facilitated until May 18th

• Building Module: Starting May 19th and facilitated until May 25th
