This document discusses new literacies in the digital age. It emphasizes cultivating open communities, remix culture, social media for education, and radical transparency. It highlights the importance of choice, voice, and purpose in learning. It also discusses shifting from print to digital literacy and the rise of participatory culture through collaboration and democratization. Key skills for the future include sense-making, social intelligence, novel thinking, and understanding data. New forms of literacy involve watching, sharing, commenting, creating and curating across various platforms. Teachers' roles are shifting from experts delivering information to co-learners, coaches and curators who amplify student voice.
