Literacy is the ability to read and write in at least one writing
method, here are some important aspects of the conception of
the definition of literacy.
Literacy is a continuous, multidimensional indicator of
proficiency in using written language.

in this phase, humans as a species have filled the entire world
with their creative presence, because historically they were
isolated, and as a consequence that they came up with very
different ways of expressing themselves and communicating.
The authors' Mary Kalantzis and Bill Cope and conducted research on
literacy in Australian aboriginal communities, they say that we have more
than 7,000 languages in the world, but speaking particularly of Australia, the
phenomenon of the first languages was more than 500 languages and
dialects in the Australian continent before than the British.

STARTING TO WRITE
The importance of writing has become one of the most powerful media in
the world and has spread throughout the world as a mode of
construction of meaning. In this regard, it is mentioned that today, 90% of
the world population speaks one of the twenty languages and all these
twenty languages have writing associated with them.
School = A place to teach a standard language that everybody shares.
Not going and learning that language means marginalization.
DIGITAL LITERACIES
The rise and challenge of the new literacies, the digital is characterized by being a
means of giving meaning and it is a moment that allows us to produce signs, images,
and sounds with exactly the same tools, making it another truly revolutionary, one
the moment that is bringing a lot of change, for us in this module on literacies it is to
change the balance of power between the different modes of meaning creation and
in particular, it is a challenging language is the written language as a privileged way
in the creation of that is, things start to change around the second half of the 20th
century.
NEW LITERACIES
“New literacies” that arise from new technologies include things like text messaging,
blogging, social networking, podcasting, and videomaking. These digital technologies
alter and extend our communication abilities, often blending text, sound, and imagery.
With a world of digital materials at students’ fingertips, traditional instructional materials
like textbooks are no longer canonical. But that doesn’t mean that the role of the
educator is necessarily diminished. On the contrary, educators could be even more
important as they guide students through the contexts of learning materials, not simply
the content. Again, as Leu points out, collaborative practices seem to help boost learning.
