Publish+&+Share+In+Flux

==== Traditional notions of **//publishing//** and **//sharing//** as steps that come only at the end of the inquiry and writing processes have changed and are continuing to evolve. Digital technologies allow for publishing and sharing throughout the inquiry and writing processes. Digital technologies also create dynamic options and opportunities in terms of mode, audience, and impact. Below are publishing and sharing efforts from two students who serve as a case in point. What observations can you make about each letter? Inferences? How are they similar? Different? What implications do the letters represent for notions of publishing and sharing? How does // **identity** // factor in here? ====
