Nice to say hello :) Just to introduce myself, my name is Tom Salmon, I am an ex-literacy teacher and now research assistant in the UK at the university of Sussex. I am looking forward to learning a lot more about the efforts to spread and develop standards for Web-literacy and am excited by the awesome ideas that have been proposed so far. Currently I am working as a consultant on an EU funded project to map Open Educational Resources and investments in infrastructure and e-learning initiatives particularly looking at mapping virtual schools and colleges around the world. The link is here:
The wiki for different countries is here:

I am also joining in with the general discussion and learning going on with the ETMOOC community on Google+ which is looking at Web-literacy next week.
Looking forward to getting to know you all !
Best
Tom

Hi, everyone. I'm Matt Thompson from Toronto, aka @OpenMatt.
This year I'll be focusing a lot on Webmaker's storytelling and web presence for mentors --
instructors, educators, techies and anyone interested in helping to spread web literacy.
So I've really been enjoying getting to virtually know you all through this thread. :)
One of the things I'm working on right now is a new mentor page on webmaker.org.
It will link to the web literacy work Doug's been spearheading, plus our our various resources and tools for teaching digital literacy.
i just blogged about it here:

Looking forward to getting to know you all better this year. :)
