The new media literacies are certain skills that everybody needs to deal with our culture today
to function in the current media environment
within the internet, with cell phones
how to interact with information and with culture
with just the pace of life wich is very different now that it was twenty years ago
there are the things they need to know to become creative artists,
to become citizens, to become workers in the future
in the past, media literacy was all about to trying to get consumers of media
to think critically about what they were watching
a large numbers of people were receiving media messages
that were created by a small number of producers
now we start to look at the challenges for both the consumers and the producers of media
and we look at the remodifications that that has in their lives
we are not really just consumers anymore,
we are also making thinks or putting stuff out there,
whether it is just a Facebook profile or something more complex
narratives where the reader plays a role in shaping the story
a video or an art piece
interactive online spaces
anything that I might put in the internet
so, whether than just asking questions of creators
we are now also having to ask questions about ourselves
What do we need to participate?
What skills do we need now?
One example of skill might be judgment
where you find some information online and you need to be able
to decide whether that information is reliable or not
Negotiation means knowing how to enter into different groups and different spaces
and knowing how to understand what the different norms are
Appropiation... how do I remix and sample content in a meaningful way
One of my favourites skills is play
what we define is the capacity to experiment
with the sorroundings as a form of problem solving
Transmedia navigation
Simulation
Collective intelligence
Performance
Distributed cognition
Visualization
Multitasking
They are not just skills for the classroom
and they are not just skills for the workplace
They are skills that involve creative expression
They are skills that involve citizenship
They are skills that connect people together
in something larger than in individual levels
Learning new skills, new competences...
to make really great things and be full participants
