Technological and informational literacies, as described in the critical literacies advancement model are essential skills in today's technology-dependent society. In this paper, we illustrate how educators, by using social media (especially memes), can help students develop these and other literacies and thinking skills. These skills can lead to informed decision-making and actions that can advance equity and social justice and the ideals of global citizenship. The paper also discusses possibilities to foster student interest, enhance engagement, creativity, consumer consciousness, and emotional intelligence while creating opportunities for meaningful, challenging learning that invites dialog on difficult topics such as issues related to race, ethnicity, language, socioeconomic status, nationality, immigration status, family structure and so on.
