The term 'new literacies' refers to the different technologies used by young learners in constructing and sharing their own learning. These are technical in nature, requiring knowledge of and about the use digital electronic apparatuses, computers and related software, be it digital imaging, blog related, instant messaging, website maintenance and social networking, so called web 2.0 technologies, as well as mixing traditional media (Knobel, Lankshear, 2006)
These new literacies describe new and interactive ways for students to share information and knowledge. Teachers can better meet the demands of modern students by allowing them to share in new literacies through web 2.0 technologies (Callow, 2008)
