A definition of twenty first century literacy offered by the New Media Consortium is “the set of abilities and skills where aural, visual, and digital literacy overlap. These include the ability to understand the power of images and sounds, to recognize and use that power, to manipulate and transform digital media, to distribute them pervasively, and to easily adapt them to new forms” (Jenkins, 2009, Abstract). Jenkins (2009) interprets this definition as “first, textual literacy remains a central skill in the twenty-first century. Learners must expand their required competencies, not push aside old skills to make room for the new. Second, new media literacies should be considered a social skill” (p. 28). Our design activities will help students to develop their textual literacy while reflecting on their process and sharing their thoughts with others in collaborative discussion forums.
