Literacy for Digital Natives
"The new literacies encompass much more. Their utility lies in online reading comprehension and learning skills, or 21st century skills, required by the Internet and other information and communication technologies (ICTs), including content found on wikis, blogs, video
sites, audio sites and in e-mail. They require the ability not just to "read" but also to navigate the World Wide Web, locate information, evaluate it critically, synthesize it
and communicate it-all skills that are becoming vital to success in this century's economy and workforce."
