Terms from The New Media Literacy:
judgement, negotiation, appropriation, play, transmedia navigation, simulation, collective intelligence, performance, distributed cognition, visualization, multitasking
I believe we should use judgement when considering any content, no matter the source. The prospective of the presenter always affects information. The video mentioned that negotiation is about "knowing how to enter into different groups and different spaces and knowing how to understand what the different norms are". I've never been part of a "group", but I would suspect this is about being socially acceptable. Appropriation is like putting together a research paper from many sources. Play is "the capacity to experiment with your surroundings as a form of problem solving". I think these skills are just different forms of the same skills always needed by effective artist, citizens and workers.
You are part of many groups: at school, at work, in your family, in your church. Maybe you don't have much experience entering groups which are "different." But you will when you start teaching!
