Da autobiografia ao Instagram: construindo a memória escolar

Abstract

This work aims to understand and to reflect on the perception of digital technologies applicability importance in student’s education, therefore assuming a more dynamic, productive and reflective posture when teaching their spoken language, in addition to valuing the bonds that identify them inside the school community. Hence, this project was developed for 9th grade students, aiming to encourage them to position themselves within the school community based on the following provocations for their own reflection: how do values passed on to me by my family become positive references and influence my life? What is my place in the world? How does the school become inspiration in my life, decisions and choices? Thus, based on a set of genres with similar characteristics, such as self-portrait, selfie, autobiography and memory, this project aims to reproduce moments built in the school community from shared experiences and affections, in order to build a digital mural and to publicize it on Instagram. The use of this digital tool, characterized by its social media character, adds the skills of communication, interaction, cooperation and also critical and creative thinking. Finally, the project provides training for students’ autonomy within the digital culture, enabling them to take the lead in language practices through multi-literacies.
