#teachtheweb -- Michelle Thorne
- Michelle's blog: <a href="http://michellethorne.cc/2013/03/teachtheweb/">http://michellethorne.cc/2013/03/teachtheweb/</a>
- We’d like to try an experiment in a distributed “marketplace” for webmaking.
- The idea is simple: use the hashtag #teachtheweb to ask for and offer help.
- You can use the #teachtheweb hashtag to ask for help:
- “I’m looking for someone to help teach Javascript at a webmaking event in Athens. #teachtheweb”
- You can also offer help. Say, for example:
- “I work with youth at my hackerspace and am happy to share activities they like. #teachtheweb”
- Not only for event needs/offers, but also for learning resources, inspirational stories, feedback, etc.
- Betatesting from now until May. Since this is an experiment, we can’t anticipate how well the tag will work.
- Dive in! Write a tweet, respond to one. Let us know what you think.
