"The work of new literacies is always about making connections within and across contexts and people. It is the work of sharing and communicating. . . . [W]e must move beyond taking risks and reaping rewards as individuals. Teachers need to identify or create spaces where they can share what they’ve learned to further the process. It’s not just a “nice to do”—it’s a “must do.”
—Margaret C. Hagood, p. 15–16
