Mozilla Web Literacy Model

In this model web literacies are grouped as Read (how we explore the web), Write (how we build the web) and Participate (how we connect on the web).

  • Read: search, navigate, synthesise, evaluate
  • Write: design, code, compose, revise, remix
  • Participate: connect, protect, open practice, contribute, share

21st Century Skills are grouped as Problem-Solving, Communication, Creativity and Collaboration.

 

Web Literacy 2.0

Mozilla describes web literacy as:

“Knowing how to read, write, and participate in the digital world has become the 4th basic foundational skill next to the three Rs—reading, writing, and arithmetic—in a rapidly evolving, networked world. Having these skills on the web expands access and opportunity for more people to learn anytime, anywhere, at any pace. Combined with 21st Century Leadership Skills (i.e. critical thinking, collaboration, problem solving, creativity, communication), these digital-age skills help us live and work in today’s world.”
