New Media Literacies Project

New Media Literacies is a great project for the education system, as well as the general public. New Media Literacies is a set of particular skills needed in order to be able to function in today's technological world. New Media Literacies has three main challenges, "...identifies the three core challenges: the participation gap, the transparency problem and the ethics challenge" (newmedialiteracies.org).

In order for young people to be able to participate in our culture and society, they must know the New Media skills because they are in place to know how to work in today's society. For young people to be able to form their own opinions and create works themselves, they must know how to gather information, collaborate, and synthesize. New Media Literacies will be able to equip students with the tools to be able to function in schools and the real world.

Being professional does not happen overnight. Professionalism is made up of different skills that a person obtains; not everybody has the skills needed to be professional. New Media Literacies is the set of professional skills needed for young people to work with. Every student needs to be taught New Media Literacies so that they will know how to act professional and develop professional thoughts and projects. New Media Literacies is a great educational project because it is helping our future by giving them access to the most recent technologies.
