What is metaliteracy?

When I think of metaliteracy, I think of it being the ability to use, interpret and share information through several online formats. This can include things such as social media websites (Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc.), creating posts on Wikipedia, looking at the local news website and commenting on an event, reading a book through a Nook or Kindle, or even watching an informational "How To" video on Youtube.

Information literacy is the ability to interpret what you are reading through the digital sources.

  1. Hi Lindsay, I really like your blog site! It's cozy. You mention watching information videos on YouTube and I feel like that's a place I go to all the time (although sometimes I have to sort through a bunch before I find what I want). You mention the word 'interpret what you're reading' and that makes me think of translating - like what an interpreter gets paid to do. Do you think that you ever wind up translating what you find out on social media websites?
