 * FIRST DRAFT -** **TEXT 1 **

In order to write a paper/essay, we are supposed to discuss the project and the ideas with other people. All those prewriting tools used by Madison and Dakota are only some of the many social media that are available to help us overcome writer’s block and visualize what the final work will be like. Also, when all the work is done, it is still possible to use that media tools to share the final work with others.

Each person finds one tool more useful or easier to use. No matter what tools are used, it is important to try different ones, so that we can be part of a bigger network of other writers. That contact can help us enlarge our views of things, find out what we are willing to focus on, or even to enhance our writing. According to Barton and Klint, “Learning to write as a group can be a daunting and frustrating process, but social media tools can make a difference. ”.

The article "Shared Cognitions and Shared Theories: Telling More Than We Can Know by Ourselves?" , by Brandon Randolph-Seng, Jacquline Cottle, Mario Calvo and Tammy Zacchilli, proposes a separation between the concepts of shared cognition and shared theories.=====

=
Shared cognition is exemplified by members of a group clearly communicating their beliefs and decisions, <range type="comment" id="157307">in attempt to share their thought processes with the rest of the group. The idea of shared vs. unshared information influences the group decisions, which are based only on the shared ones. Sharing and participating are extremely important and the participation of all members of a group is even more important than the actual time and discussion a group has.=====

=
Another idea presented is that when the corretion solution is not clear, the majority perspective will usually prevail. That may correct possible individual-level errors, but can also lead to more grupal-level errors, because groups sometimes make more extreme decisions than individuals.=====

=
Shared theories are considered to be all the shared assumptions, beliefs, values, norms, or identities shared by a member that can influence the decisions of the group or how its members will behave. The reasons behind their feelings or attitudes are generally <range type="comment" id="493927">not known, therefore it is considered to be more prudent to share cognition instead of theories.=====
