Here comes the plural "New Literacies" again. Some people commended on the YouTube that why the New Media Literacies created new word "Literacies" and did not know what it is about.
However, more and more academics are using Literacies instead of literacy. In more simple words, under the digital world, we should have our competency to express ourselves beyond the traditional printed mode. Literacy is referring to the traditional competency in read, write and communicate with text. However, nowadays, we communicate and express ourselves in Facebook, Blog and all sorts of web2.0 technology beyond text, scuh as hypertext, sound, image manipulation, embedded video etc. The competency to communicate in these multimodalities is named as new literacies.
Here comes a video inspired by Gunther Kress about New Literacies.
