Collaborative writing and technologies in lower secondary school: experimental didactics focused on text editing

Abstract

This paper exemplifies the exploitation of a digital writing workshop in a lower secondary school. The research originates from a personal experience, gained during the school year 2018-2019, and aims to propose frequent and typologically diversified writing activities that enable students to work individually, as well as collectively and collaboratively, by using digital technologies, with the aim of enhancing not only their linguistic and didactic skills, but also their social and relational skills.
