Metaliteracy incorporates multiple literacy understandings and promotes lifelong learning strategies by using metacognitive self-awareness and critical thinking skills to evaluate information in various static and fluid formats and platforms. Metaliteracy recognizes that information is created and shared in participatory environments and knowledge of ethics, privacy, and intellectual property is important in the current technological environment (Mackey & Jacobson, 2011).
