46. Social
Literacy
“The
ability
to
understand
and
operate
successfully
within
a
complex
and
interdependent
social
world.
It
involves
the
acquisi8on
of
the
skills
of
ac8ve
and
confident
social
par8cipa8on,
including
the
skills,
knowledge
and
artudes
necessary
for
making
reasoned
judgments
in
a
community…Social
literacy
is
concerned
with
the
empowerment
of
the
social
and
ethical
self
which
includes
the
ability
to
understand
and
explain
differences
within
individual
experiences.”
Arthur
&
Davinson

47. Network
Literacy
“the
ability
to
effec8vely
tap
social
networks
to
disperse
one's
own
ideas
and
media
products”
Henry
Jenkins
“unlike
print
literacy,
in
network
literacy
we
become
peers
in
the
system
and
indeed
to
be
‘good’
at
network
literacies
is
to
contribute
as
much
as
it
is
to
consume”
Adrian
Miles

49. “Network
literacy
means
linking
to
what
other
people
have
wri@en
and
invi8ng
comments
from
others,
it
means
understanding
a
kind
of
wri8ng
that
is
a
social,
collabora8ve
process
rather
than
an
act
of
an
individual
in
solitary.
It
means
learning
how
to
write
with
an
awareness
that
anyone
may
read
it:
your
mother,
a
future
employer
or
the
person
whose
work
you're
wri8ng
about.”
Adrian
Miles

51. “One
of
the
most
urgent
challenges
regarding
technology,
diversity,
and
equity
is
the
need
to
expand
digital
literacy;
that
is,
the
development
of
young
people’s
capacity
not
only
to
access
and
use
digital
media
but
to
use
digital
media
in
ways
that
create
more
enhanced
and
more
empowered
expressions
of
learning,
crea8ve
expression,
and
civic
engagement.”
