Welcome to the Multiliteracies Wiki
This is a project of the Center for Adolescent Literacies at UNC Charlotte. Drawing on the work of The New London Group (1996), we seek to advance what it means to be literate by expanding our understanding of literacies and texts.

• Researching
• Creating
• Communicating
• Collaborating
• Exploring
• Sharing
In order to provide a starting place for content area teachers, we have taken the tools provided above and given specific suggestions on how they might be used by subject:
