Abstract
This article describes an exploratory study on how secondary education students, from nine different states in Brazil, used SNS as a form of communication, more specifically Facebook and Facebook fan pages, in order to organize and to publish news, videos and pictures about their Students’ Social Movements. This study is framed under Cultural-Historical Activity Theory, in order to understand how students achieve their objectives acting collaboratively. Data was obtained from 9 pages on Facebook, which coordinates more than 400 pages created by students all over the country. Our findings suggest that collaborative agency plays a central role for the development and expansion of the social movements. By using Facebook as a communicative mediational tool, students were able to report, plan and coordinate online and physical activities.
