Thanks for linking back to this post because as I was watching your presentation with Angela, I was thinking about whether or not networked literacy is part of digital literacy or even socialization. One of the comments that sticks with me from ISTE is that we should create good citizens (by Chris Lehman) and I’m thinking that being able to effectively participate in the collective and use the power of the collective are important elements of being a good citizen. I do see your point, however, that simply using the term literate, or phrase good citizen, is insufficient at this point since we first need to flesh out the elements of literacy.

I just re-read this post after a number of months. Lately I’m thinking that networked literacy is the ability to know the strengths of the individuals in your PLN, or whatever @jonbecker would have you call it, and then be able to tap in to the relevant resource(s) to solve your problem. It’s knowing the human-side of the digital people you interact with. It’s making the most out of 140 characters. It’s connecting in deep and meaningful ways to construct new ideas and understandings with people you may only really know as avatars. What do you think?

@gallagher_msean Good question. Could social intelligence be part of networked literacy. @jutecht explores this at http://bit.ly/5dYqRC

If I understand correctly, networked literacy sounds like a combination of digital literacy and interpersonal communication skills (as most classes on the latter mention online communications).

It is definitely a fast-moving subject to keep up on. Networking on Twitter is much different than networking on Facebook. LinkedIn networks are vastly different from blog networks. Google Wave may create a whole new form of networking all together.

I believe as long as you remain digitally literate, you will have little trouble becoming networked literate. The key is staying on top of it. If you can get certified by a company like Certiport (disclaimer: I work for a company that is affiliated with Certiport), even better. You’ll know that you’ll be ready for whatever unpredictable network opportunity comes your way, and employers will know that too.

Just my long two cents.
