literacy 2.0, as the authors argue, is not a 'departure from literacy 1.0 nor is it a replacement of it; literacy 2.0 represents a shift, one that is built on and extends the major notions embedded in literacy 1.0.
Literacy 2.0 doesn’t make literacy 1.0 obsolete. Similar to new versions of software programs, literacy 2.0 builds on the operating system of literacy 1.0. Literacy 2.0 assumes that students learn vocabulary, comprehension, creative and critical thinking, writing, and so on but that they do so in different venues. In other words, literacy 2.0 is the next version of literacy, rather than an update. And literacy 2.0 requires knowledge of 21st century skills, especially those related to collaboration, creativity, listening and viewing, and sharing, locating and storing information.
