Join us for next week’s NCompass Live: “Tech Talk with Michael Sauers: Enter the Mozillarian: Weaving the Mozilla and Library Communities”, on Wednesday, June 25, 10:00-11:00 am Central Time.
More and more librarians and library-lovers are realizing that they have a lot in common with Mozilla. While some people think Mozilla is just a tech company that makes Firefox, these savvy
“Mozillarians” know that they’re more than that:
Mozilla is a global community of people who believe that openness, innovation, and opportunity are key to the continued health of the Internet.
Mozilla creates initiatives like
Webmaker and drives the
Hive Learning Networks — both focused on advancing web literacy, connected learning, and digital skills. These programs spark creativity and innovation, as well as build
tools,
curricula, and
a community of people dedicated to helping others. Initiatives that enable citizens to develop 21st-century skills, become creators and shapers of the web, explore interests and opportunities, and develop themselves and their communities. Which kinda sounds like, well, what librarians do 🙂
In this session we’ll highlight some Webmaker tools and resources, showcase some
emerging Mozillarians, and give you some easy ways to get started by throwing a
Webmaker Party.
Presenters: Åke Nygren, Stockholm Public Library; Chris Lawrence, Mozilla Foundation; Christine Prefontaine, Facilitating Change.
