Literacy in the 21st Century
The meaning of literacy is no longer restricted to the traditional abilities to read books, write with a pen, and/or communicate orally face-to-face with other people. The meaning of literacy has become dependent on many things and various factors such as: the new technologies emerging everyday; the new social practices that these new technologies (e.g., the Internet) impose the growing needs of people in a certain society; the new ways of communication; and the new challenges that globalization has recently imposed. Therefore, educators should find inspiration to enrich their teaching in order to meet the needs of their students who have grown up in a world of digital Information and Communication technologies.
