Mobile literacy is essential to learning effectively, working efficiently and participating fully in a world increasingly mediated by smart mobile devices. It is a macroliteracy, composed of a range of more particularized literacies: it gives long-established literacies, such as information literacy and multimodal literacy, new inflections, and it gives more newly established literacies, such as network literacy and code literacy, added importance. Depending on the types of mobile learning employed in educational contexts, different constellations of these literacies may be fostered. It is time for educators at all levels to consider how best to support the development of students' mobile literacy, including their critical mobile literacy. Mobile learning which foregrounds mobile literacy opens up the opportunity for educators to engage students in active, collaborative, situated learning, and simultaneously fulfils our obligation to develop students' 21st century skills, including their digital literacies. In this way we can prepare them for and support them in their roles as lifelong learners, employees, and citizens in a mobile society.
