What We Talk about When We Talk about Digital Literacy SpacesReferences Review This well-researched book admirably synthesizes the multifaceted threads of changing conceptions of literacy and awareness of the growing complexity and variety of potential learning spaces into a cohesive narrative. Teachers involved in any aspect of bringing developing technologies and their associated social spaces to bear on teaching a language will enjoy and greatly benefit from this book. * Vance Stevens, Founder and Coordinator of Learning2gether.net, Malaysia *In Blochs latest book, he does what he does best: helps us see digital writing spaces in historical and contemporary theoretical perspective, while also walking us through a wealth of pedagogical applications and implications. What we gain is neither a utopian nor a dystopian window on technology-for-literacy purposes but instead a multifaceted realistic view that can inform the decision-making that we, as literacy teachers and users, are almost inevitably faced with in an increasingly digitally-dominant era. * Diane D.
