What is “web literacy” and why should we teach it? How does creating/remixing the web help strengthen learning?

On Thursday, January 15 from 9-10am PT (12-1pm ET), we introduced the philosophy behind Mozilla Webmakers.

This webinar was part of a January 2015 series titled “Empowering Lifelong Learners by ‘Teaching the Web’ with Mozilla Webmaker”. Check out all the details at http://bit.ly/teachingtheweb.
