This document discusses the changing nature of literacy from the era of print to the current digital age. It explores how literacy has evolved from individual reading and writing to include multimedia communication skills. The key aspects of modern literacy outlined in the text include consuming, producing, and communicating across various media; consuming and sharing information; and developing life skills. Digital technologies have created an environment of ubiquitous connectivity that supports new forms of collaborative knowledge-building.
