Literacy here is not only about the written word, but the several means by which we can create, understand, and reproduce content. This is a video (posted by Anna Jane from Australia 2 days ago) about multiliteracy that gives an idea of what it is using a different means for conveying the concept of multiliteracy.

How to cope with all this? It is necessary to develop skills to understand messages and the intentions of their authors.<br /><br />Stuart Selber has written a book called <a href="http://people.emich.edu/abennet1/a444/multilit2htm">"<strong><em>Multiliteracies for a Digital Age"</em></strong> </a>where he says, " <em>one has to be more than a computer geek to claim computer literacy"</em> . He shows three aspects in the definition of computer literacy. In my opinion, the first one is technical and the other two, social:<br /><ol><li>Functional Literacy refers to the computer as a tool and how to use it.</li><li>Critical Literacy is associated with the ability to understand and reflect about the relationship between technology and society.</li><li>Rhetorical Literacy allows people to react to the inherent influence of persuasion present in the messages of non-neutral power structures.</li></ol><p>Selber says that academic institutions have the responsibility for developing this three-staged computer literacy and that the traditionally technical support is not enough. </p><p></p><p></p>Prof. Nelba Quintana- La Plata- Argentinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033656848787372035noreply@blogger.com1
