ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on three matters of digital writing: the networked context, collaborative composing spaces and practices, and the ways in which digital writing is policed. It explores each of these matters, and then shares a technopedagogical stance toward these matters in the writing classroom. New digital places were developed and allowed for different kinds of networked experiences. A digital networked space is WordPress, which hosts more than 1.5 million new posts daily. With networked, digital media, however, users engage their roles in broad ways—consuming, producing, remixing, sharing, revising, and more. Networks and certainly social networks span analog and digital spaces, the seemingly ephemeral and the material, the personal and the professional, and other boundaries. Digital is networked, and this network connectivity can have a big impact on classrooms. Students need to know about Fair Use and what Fair Use allows them to do for the purposes of research, and parody.
