Not surprisingly, schools have difficulty staying abreast of the technological and social aspects associated with new literacies. New Literacies Practices: Designing Literacy Learning takes into account these two concerns - the dichotomy of contextual uses of new literacies across spaces, and concerns that schooled instructional attempts with new literacies reify conventional literacy practices. Authors in this volume include classroom teachers and researchers who begin from a stance that in an interconnected, multimodal world, new literacies exist across spaces. It is no longer appropriate to consider if literacies between contexts, such as out-of-school and in-school, dovetail. Instead, we must shape examinations according to how they dovetail. The essays in this volume forge the amorphous divide between out-of-school and in-school literacies through a design of pedagogy and examine how teachers and researchers collaborate to design instruction that accounts for students' new literacies. This book acknowledges that new literacies must be embedded into the curriculum, not just included as an add-on course or activity to the school day.

Drawing upon articles published during our editorship of the Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, we illustrate how the use of digital data in research study reporting may enhance these areas of rigor, and can provide more detailed and nuanced representations that move beyond print-based transcriptions. Data shared demonstrate how including digitally rich artifacts in research articles deepens readers' access to the content, forces authors to show and not just tell of the connections to practice, and ultimately improves the rigor of the study. We also address challenges and solutions to potential problems of using digital data in research reports.

The new literacies theoretical lens that frames this study recognizes literacy as multimodal (e.g., print, image, sound) and tied to one's sociocultural identities and subjectivities. Data included 50 hr of field notes and transcripts from observation in the professional learning communities meetings and in classroom teaching contexts. We also conducted exit interviews. Matrix and discourse analyses of participants' enacted identities and subjectivities revealed differential affinity, discourse, and institutional identities and instruction across the 2 case studies: one of mandated participation and the other of voluntary participation. Participants situated their views of literacy in relation to the underperforming schools in which they taught, in which basic, print-based assessments trumped other forms of literacy and learning.

HAGOOD University of Georgia iteracy is on the verge of reinventing itself. Luke and L Elkins (1998), recently appointed editors of the Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy, noted in their first issue of the journal that the potential for such reinvention is reflected in the way “texts and literate practices of everyday life are changing at an unprecedented and disorienting pace”(p. 4). Attributing the changes largely to new information technologies arid to the complex multiliteracies that these ...

For this special column, department editors will ask two stakeholders to gather around a virtual water cooler and converse about a particular literacy issue.

This seeming incongruity, however, is what intrigues us most. It is also what drives us to wonder if governmental and media sources that regularly proclaim a crisis in literacy achievements might be overlooking some potentially rich intersections between young people's personal and school literacies. Finally, we can't help but wonder, along with columnist Patrick Clinton (2002), if the" real" ...

It was also the day this article began to take shape. What else, we wondered, might we learn from looking in on adolescents' uses of multiple literacies to navigate various forms of ...

Our enjoyment of and commitment to reading are realized in the considerable time (and money) spent developing and cultivating our understanding and knowledge of the subject. On any given day, a dose of our reading habit may include a poetry reading to a class of students, a journal article and part of the newspaper during lunch, and a chapter of the latest best seller before retiring for the evening. This dedication ...
