8. LET’S DO IT TOGETHER.

9. WHY A WEB LITERACY STANDARD?
• To talk the talk and walk the walk
• To ensure we’re teaching the right things
• To connect similar projects and efforts
• To create a web literate planet - multiply
scale and impact

10. WHAT IS A STANDARD?
Simple: 'a set of rules for ensuring quality'
Longer: 'a document established by consensus and
approved by a recognized body that provides for
common and repeated use, rules, guidelines or
characteristics for activities or their results, aimed at
the achievement of the optimum degree of order in
a given context'
http://www.etsi.org/standards/what-are-standards

11. WHAT WILL THE STANDARD INCLUDE?
• Definitions
• Outcomes / Rubrics
• Eventually:
Assessments and
APIs
• What Else?

13. WHAT HAVE WE DONE SO FAR?

14. HOW THE MOZILLA WORK STARTED
In early 2012, we talked to a bunch of smart people
and found 5 common themes for web literacy:
• Exploring
• Authoring
• Connecting
• Building
• Protecting

15. BUILDING AND ITERATING
Over the rest of 2012, we talked to more smart
people and landed on 4 categories:
• Exploring
• Creating
• Connecting
• Protecting
