With the evolution of digital media, young people began to learn differently and educational institutions, especially schools, must meet these demands, as Prensky (2010) argues. Understanding that digital technologies can provide educational potentialities, this article aims to understand the Bakhtinian concept of “chronotope” applied to education through a software: the Wattpad. To this end, we start from an interdisciplinary perspective, which associates the studies of Bakhtin (2016) and the Circle with the research of experts in Digital Communication, based on Santaella (2014) and Lévy (2010), and Education, from Rojo (2013), Almeida and Valente (2007). This paper analyzes a textual production written and published, by a young woman, in the aforementioned software that, even without previous pedagogical purpose, triggered a non-formal educational process.

Keywords : Education; Chronotope; Digital technologies.
