The world is rapidly changing and the way in which we contribute to society is changing alongside it.
The transition from a print based world to a digital world is shifting the focus from literacy to a term coined, ‘Transliteracy’. The following video identifies Transliteracy as, ‘the ability to read, write and interact across a range of platforms, tools and media,’ (librarianbyday, 2009).

As teachers and teacher librarians, we can no longer focus solely on the ability to read and write. Students are growing up in a world where they are constantly adapting to advancing technology and digital tools. In the past year I have used my phone to pay bills, seek immediate medical advice, filled legal paperwork, completed government forms and used social media accounts for entertainment. These differing forms of media all required my ability to not only read what I was doing but understand how the forms and content were set out and how I what I would need to contribute to them.
