Localizing Curriculum

Let's teach curriculum globally

Join the November Campaign

You can help make educational resources useful and relevant to people in your local community. This month we're focusing on the Offline Icebreakers activities of our Web Literacy Curriculum.

About the Campaign

In an effort to teach the web to a global audience, Mozilla is excited to launch a campaign to continue localizing its curriculum. This time we have picked the Offline Icebreakers module. This module contains 6 puzzles and games that help learners activate and share their knowledge about the web, and don't require an internet connection. With the support of the community the campaign hopes to conclude with the module translated and localized in a total of 12 languages. To show our appreciation to our contributors, we will also provide gifts as detailed below.

How to Contribute

If you are interested in helping out, fill out this short form to let us know that you will be localizing the activities. Once you have signed up, you can begin localizing the activities listed here. Here are some guidelines to keep in mind about the process before you begin:

Our activities exist in three different formats. You only need to localize each activity in one format. We encourage you to pick the tool which you are most comfortable using.
We recommend reading the instructions on how to use one of the tools - Thimble, Github or Google Docs, head over to our Tool Help section.
We appreciate and value any contribution that you may provide. This means that you are not required to localize all the activities in your language for your contribution to count. Work with as many activities that you are comfortable with and you may choose to localize specific activities that resonate with you and/or your community.
You may wish to collaborate with others. If we encounter more than one person showing interest in participating in a specific locale, we might connect you to collaborate on this localization effort together.
Do not hesitate to ask us questions. We want to support you in every way we can as you participate in this campaign. Check out how you can contact us by looking at our Contact section.

How to Submit your Content

We are aiming for a completion date of November 30, 2016 and hope to receive all localized curriculum by then. Once you have finished localizing the activities, please fill out this form to submit your content (only submit the URLs). In this form, we will also ask you about your experience in this campaign, what you liked and what you would like to see improve for the next time.

Rewards

We appreciate the time and effort you put in to make it possible to share teaching resources in your community. All participants will receive a Mozilla Curriculum Localization certificate that acknowledges your contribution to this campaign as a member of the Learning Network.

Furthermore, as a token of our appreciation, the first 20 participants in this campaign who submit at least three or more fully localized activities will recieve a special gift.
