Abstract

This article seeks to understand why and how social media is incorporated in the teaching of a university professor. Social media is considered as an interactive communication platform related to web 2.0 (social web), which can generate contents, build, share information and knowledge among different users, favoring social collaborative learning or the so-called learning 2.0, that is framed in the vision of thoughtful citizens committed to their individual and collective evolution. The qualitative approach of this work allowed the use of biographical-narrative techniques of social research, by focusing on the single case study method. Four interviews were applied in-depth to the case study, which were subsequently transcribed, and a narrative process was carried out that showed communication processes, didactic, trajectories, transitions and transformations of their teaching practice.
