Sponsored by the Mozilla Foundation with support from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, Mozilla Labs launches a new Challenge: Jetpack for Learning Design Challenge.

“Jetpack allows you to write Firefox add-ons using the web technologies you already know.”

Based on this Firefox add-on (Install Jetpack here) , anyone with basic website building knowledge will be able to enhance his web experience the way he always wanted.

Mozilla Labs also presented some guiding principles and an Introduction and tutorial by Aza Raskin on Vimeo:

You can find a very useful tutorial and code samples here and the Mozilla Labs Jetpack discussion on google groups too.

“We are looking for designers, educators, and software developers who want to use Jetpack (or other Firefox add-on technologies) to unlock new opportunities for digital learning.”

What you can do is to test drive Jetpack for your own needs or even join the Challenge and submit your idea (which sounds very interesting)

Follow Jetpack on twitter: @jet4learning with hashtag #jet4learning (Live dashboard on tweetgrid.com )

At the end, i would like to see some educators using Jetpack, and i will try it my self in the next coming days. Meanwhile we can spread the word and push forward the one tool that can help evolve the world: Education.
