New Literacies

There are a few definitions of new literacies, which involves learning in a digital community, using new technologies with a purpose of sharing information and knowledge to fellow learners, combined skills used as a result of the new technologies, and the technology itself. Among these definitions, the most important thing that need to be underlined about new literacies according to Callow (2008)  is that they are about sharing and presenting information through different kinds of technological tools for larger communities for a greater use.
