DataCamp Breakout Session Notes November 1, 2013 at Surrey Central Library

Webmaker Breakout Session

Facilitators:

  • Dethe Elza @dethe
  • Cynthia Ng @TheRealArty

Webmaker suite:

  • goggles - seeing & “hacking” existing websites, thimble - webpage editor, popcorn - video editor
  • can see the source - see everything about it, remix existing makes, play with the web, social commentary

web literacy standard & badges

  • has different tracks
  • can be at different levels
  • have tried in the past, discussed information and literacy skills
  • great to have a set standard, instead of always setting things and made up in silos
  • tie in with badges
  • nicely broken down
  • people love to collect things, wanting to complete all pathways even if not meant to
  • badges can be created, distributed through openbadges.org
  • has metadata with issuer, evaluation criteria, etc.
  • have to design your own system and how to apply it to the standard, but we're here to help!
  • can put a link to your own criteria, can put as much information on you want
  • open to change, but will not change all the time

other thoughts:

  • might even put course material on webmaker
  • might use popcorn to remix your own videos instead of having remake the whole thing
  • use badges to connect people e.g. for individual to find peer mentors
  • tutorials on popcorn/thimble to walk learners through
  • can be self-driven, can make your own projects and tutorials
