Net Smart: How to Thrive Online

Digital Humanities

Rheingold chose to focus on the five literacies, especially collaboration. The reason why is because to live in a healthy environment in this world we must work with one another and network. In western culture and especially in American culture, society teaches us to be independent and to be successful if we work hard. This lifestyle allows us to become solidary in our lives such as in the workplace or academia if we are not careful. Collaboration works in our day-to-day lives, but also, in academia because this is where we send our message across and our ideas. In this skill we learn how to better communicate with one another in face-to-face interactions, stay focus or be attentive with people, and expand in knowledge and scholarship.
