From Linear Writing to Digital Writing: Professional Crossings

Abstract

New technologies launch a digital era that materializes itself in the complexity of the current work processes which challenge teachers in order to renew their own professional practices. If in one hand the technological advance describes significant changes in the human behavior, in the other hand the terms new technologies and superior education constitute a recent set of experiences as a teaching-learning process, challenging us to rethink our educational practice in this beginning of century. Therefore, this study considers Pierre Lévy’s theoretical concepts as a possibility to present some introductory theoreticalmethodological considerations to our respective doctorate thesis. This paperwork aims to reflect upon the digital writing phenomena and the professional reflections this comunication possibility provides to teachers from diferent educational areas. In this co-authorship exercise we also seek to establish considerations regarding the emergency of a collective intelligence and its elementary condition of sharing knowledges so that, in this movement, we can understand the human development associated to the evolution of comunication techniques.
Key words: Digital writing. Professional practice. Collective intelligence.
