7. The tools available today support a
reconceptualization of literacy and
more expanded definition. Now the
term is plural: “literacies”. This
suggests the large diversity of
meanings that derive from the social
and cultural practices empowered by
the tools available, and which allow
for a more participatory approach.

8. • “Literacy as I am using
the term is definitely a
skill. But solitary skills
are not enough today.
Literacy now means
skill plus social
competency in using
that skill
collaboratively”
• (Rheingold, 2013, p. 4)

9. Literacies: A working Definition…
• Practices which empower individuals and groups
of people to access, analyze, comprehend,
evaluate, deconstruct, and communicate
messages in various forms, in ways that it allows
them to function effectively in society.
• A collection of skills, competencies, values, which
allows us to engage in collaborative meaning-
making
– (CARDET Research Group, 2013).
