  • NOTES & COMMENTS



  • QUESTIONS 



  • How to Get Involved
    • The students had these questions, can we provide crowdsourced responses:

      • "Why did we immediately accept Mozilla's stance that everyone should be a webmaker when the question of if they should or should not is still not answered?"
      • "To achieve the goal of everyone as webmaker, does mozilla need to help all types and capacities? only beginners or shy people, or people who might not consider themselves makers? or also eager maker?"
      • "Why is the remix so central to everything about Webmaker? Have they considered that some people may not easily find their way into webmaking by tinkering as a first step?"
      • "Is the remix the right approach? A remix could prove too limiting to those who come to Webmaker with the drive to create something of their own." 
      • "As the web is right now more an exploring platform than a creating one, if everybody start creating their own things on the web can make more difficult for the others the exploring part of the web? Can it be more difficult to find what you are looking for in the web if this is even much full of content or it would be even a better experience for the user exploring?"
      • "What is the easier approach / ways to go to webmakers beginners? remix is part of the idea to grow each people's theme but how does it help every level of the people from beginners to experts? what is the good trigger to get in to webmakers?"

ITEM

  • Hi everyone! I want to start teaching a Webmakers class in San Francisco Bay Area and the Silicon Valley this April. I'd like to teach Webmakers to students from Year Up, which is an IT business/trade school, alumni, as well as community members. If anyone has any ideas/feedback, they'd be gratefully appreciated. I've started a google doc for anyone who is interested in taking a glance with some more details. Anyone curious? Contact me, I need your help: achavez@mozilla.com IRC: ashlee in #dcops

Ever wanted to write REALLY good bugs?
