Rheingold – 5 Web Literacies Metacognition (aware of our activity online) Attention  Awareness of attention curve and how you distribute this to diff media Participation  gives individuals a sense of belonging, of having an active and tangible input  practising active citizenship online. From consumer to producer Collaboration  working and learning with other people . Closely related to participation  leveraging collective intelligence Network Awareness  closely related to Global dimension of networks via digital technology “The technical networks amplify and extend the fundamental human capability of forming social networks” (Rheingold, 2010). Also about reputation management and networked individuality Critical Consumption  Knowing how to evaluate a source and making a educated guess about its origins and if it’s trustworthy

Juliet Hinrichsen and Antony Coombs University of Greenwich https://sites.google.com/site/dlframework/the5resourcesframework In recognising the need to promote literacies for a world in transition, Hinrichsen and Coombs (2013) have developed a critical literacy framework mapping curriculum design into learner attributes. In doing so, they built on Luke and Freebody’s (2003) “Four Resource Model” that encapsulates a multi-literate requirement for reading through the use of the following roles: (1) Code breaker, (2) Meaning maker, (3) Text user and (4) Text critic by “adding a fifth resource, Persona, to accommodate the social and identity relations of the contemporary digital environment” (ibid, n/d) This resulted in the “Five Resource Framework” Juliet Hinrichsen and Antony Coombs University of Greenwich
