Reading, writing and maths are no longer the only essential subjects everyone should learn. Today’s essential skills include navigating the web, writing code and engaging with others online. This web literacy map from Mozilla presents activities that cover these 21st-century skills.
Most of the activities are for beginners, but they’re all fun and interesting, such as #allthestickerz:
Learners will create pixel art stickers, publish them for others, and use them to annotate and remix the Web, learning community participation, composing, open practices, remix, and sharing.

Other activities centre around online privacy, search engine skills, HTML, web design, using open source tools and so on. They also emphasise problem-solving, communication, creativity and collaboration — all critical skills we might not have learned in school.
This is a great resource for parents, educators and those catching up on basic web skills.
