Creative writing mediated by technology: an experience of production of collective narrative in English on Facebook

Abstract

With the advancement of technologies, new modes of writing have been generated and, in recent times, it appears the opportunity to enhance their teaching within the framework of new communication and creation practices. The experience shared in this paper was conceived from a socio-pedagogical perspective and it implies the use of technologies for production in collaboration with others. This paper includes a description of the experience, the opinion of all participants and what it meant to the teachers who took it forward. The need to write collaboratively, in real time and in a technological environment fostered the process of decision taking when writing in order to “introduce their own voices” in the game of creative writing.
