• MAKER PARTY: Toronto, Canada: The week-long Webmaking for Nannies workshop is the second of the Webmaking for Nannies series. The concept is pretty simple: Enable nannies to become Webmaker coaches to their wards. The learning setting for them is very informal and the expectation ranges from sharing some bits of info about Webmaker initiatives to doing demos of the tools. The over-arching goal is to get their wards interested and motivated about Webmaking.
