HacktivityKits

<h1>Mozteach Teaching Kits</h1>

We are in the process of creating Teaching Kits for each of our software tools and for a variety of event types. The kits contain information on the Mozilla Webmaker initiative as a whole, specific information on the particular tool and an agenda, and then modular content that allows a facilitator to pick and choose what they want to teach and how.

<strong>The kits also contain information on how to hack the kit for your own interests and particular situations. You can remix them!</strong>

I have been brainstorming the best way to create hackable content that is also usable for people who donÕt actually want to hack it. I can imagine that certain facilitators just want to teach web literacy as the main theme and need or want a step by step plan in doing that. So these kits are laid out for those educators. But for those people that want to hack it:

<ol> <li>Create an orientation (introduction) activity (an Icebreaker - introduces the concepts for the day. It also helps you, the facilitator, assess the prior knowledge of the themes you're teaching.</li> <li>Create an instructional activity (explains and introduces the tools and hard skills)</li> <li>Create a practical activity (a exploratory activity - uses a practical project approach to marry high level concepts and hard skills)</li> </ol>
