New literacies are defined by two main components. Firstly they involve the use of digitality or digital electronic resources (Knobel, 2006). Examples of these digital electronic resources include blogs, wikis, audio and podcasting (Callow, 2008). More simple in order to be digitally literate in new literacies an individual must become competent in the skills assocaited with web 2.0, such as sharing and interacting with the digital media, rather than just viewing them (Callow, 2006).
The second component of new literacies involve the mindset informing the literacy practice. This mindset recognises the digital sphere as a new, seperate world, which operates independently from the physical world.
