Post 23: New Media Literacies Project

After researching the New Media Literacies Project, I found that it is a research initiative based within MIT's Comparative Media Studies Program, that digs deeper into how we may be able to equip students with the required social skills and competence to participate in media landscaping and raising public awareness about how important it is to be literate and involved in a "globally interconnected, multicultural world".
They offer learning materials, videos, strategy guides, blogs, and more to help you participate in this technological world. While reading an article available on their website, I found the answers to questions I had from a previous post of mine on here "Post 22: New Media Literacies". Here is what I found:
The new skills include:
Play — the capacity to experiment with one’s surroundings as a form of problem-solving
Performance — the ability to adopt alternative identities for the purpose of improvisation
and discovery
Simulation — the ability to interpret and construct dynamic models of real-world
processes
Appropriation — the ability to meaningfully sample and remix media content
Multitasking — the ability to scan one’s environment and shift focus as needed to salient
details.
Distributed Cognition — the ability to interact meaningfully with tools that expand
mental capacities
Collective Intelligence — the ability to pool knowledge and compare notes with
others toward a common goal
Judgment — the ability to evaluate the reliability and credibility of different information
sources
Transmedia Navigation — the ability to follow the flow of stories and information
across multiple modalities
Networking — the ability to search for, synthesize, and disseminate information
Negotiation — the ability to travel across diverse communities, discerning and respecting
multiple perspectives, and grasping and following alternative norms.
