According to their website, New Media Literacies is not a new add-on subject but rather a shift in the way things are taught. Because young people today are more involved with technology based games, social networking, and various forms of media there is a greater need for them to learn how to properly work with and navigate through the technological world.
The New Media Literacies Project is a project of MIT, and is founded in part by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur foundation. The project lists twelve skills that are deemed necessary to be able to effectively work and learn in today's technologically advanced world.
And do you have those skills?
