==Welcome to the New Literacies & Global Learning (NLGL) graduate concentration! Our new program is aimed at increasing teachers' capacity for teaching and learning in a rapidly changing world. New literacies enable learners to broaden their modes of making and representing "meaning." New literacies—from text messaging to social networking to participating in virtual worlds—are multiple, dynamic, and always changing. Likewise, global learning is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. Since we have the capacity to communicate and work globally, the demand for global knowledge and understandings is steadily increasing.==
