Literacy: possession of education, a person's knowledge of a particular subject or field
So what is metaliteracy? Well without going into extensive research and looking at the particular details of it I will give a quick breakdown of my current thoughts of it.
Metaliteracy is knowledge and education brought out by different forms of media. Like literacy or being literate is brought by the classroom and readings of papers and books, metaliteracy goes further and includes social media, online forums, and anything digital or online based. We are living in the digital world and connect our thoughts into the world wide web to share and recieve knowledge be it academia related or gossip about the latest celebrity.
What do you think about connecting literacy and learning with media. More effective or is it breaking down the traditional ways of learning and sharing information?
ReplyDeleteSorry about the late reply. I believe that using various media is very effective in sharing information because there are more outlets for knowledge and different methods increase the learning potential that specific readers may find more helpful than others.
