Collaborative writing is a great way to expand on ideas or create really interactive dialogue. What's even better about it is that you really don't have a set template for what makes collaborative writing or projects. Twitter threads, image storytelling, google docs, the possibilities are limitless.
I collaborated with two classmates of mine, Kayla Stockdale and Kylie Truscello, by using a Pinterest account. We came together with a common academic interest in communications. Both Kayla and Kylie have communication majors and I have a communication minor (though I'm always tempted to dual major). We decided Pinterest was a great medium for collaborative writing in that we can use shared pins and talk about them individually through captions, but organize them into a bigger idea through boards.
With this Pinterest account, the three of us all pinned different topics, tips, and infographics of why communication is important in our daily lives. Our topics include communication in the workplace, in relationships (both plutonic and romantic), when resolving conflict, and other methods like intercultural or non-verbal communication. Our goal was to demonstrate the importance of different communication strategies using Pinterest to organize our information. The project itself was actually very fun and I was impressed with just how many informative pins were available on this topic. Check out our Pinterest board and see if you learn something new!
