Webmaker's Chris Lawrence at MozFest 2013

Chris Lawrence of the Hive Learning Network explains the latest iteration of webmaker.org at the 2013 Mozilla Festival in London. Let's teach and learn the web together.

I'm Chris Lawrence. I work on the Webmaker Mentor Community Team.

"What are you launching at MozFest?"

We're launching Webmaker and, specifically in my roun

we're launching the teaching community aspects of Webmaker.

"What is Webmaker?"

So really Webmaker is a combination of
three things for teaching.

It's a toolset; it's a teaching kit for curriculum; and
it's a networks community around that.

So we're launching the teaching kit element and
building a community and a network around it.

"What are your goals for the community and network?"

The goals for the community and network is to build an ecosystem specifically for the Hive Learning Network

around digital and web literacy with
Webmaker as both the platform and

the, sort of, motivational force behind the web literacy piece.

"Why are you excited about MozFest?"

I'm excited about MozFest because traditionally,
every other year, it sets the agenda for us.

We build crazy, awesome things and it gives us stuff to celebrate from the previous year

and organise for the coming year.

"Why are you excited about your launch?"

I'm excited about what we're launching because it's
going to be a transformational platform

for teaching and learning about the web,
on the web and with the web.
