wallwisher.com

This morning, I received an email with yet another website that we could use in the classroom. The website is www.wallwisher.com. Wallwisher is an online notice board maker. It's a website used for making announcements, keeping notes, starting discussions. The website claims that it is basically an online way of keeping postit notes! You can also post images. I did not look too much into the website yet, but I have viewed an example wall. The example wall is a question that people have posted responses to. It looks like a great way to communicate thoughts and opinions. I have not decided how I could use it in the classroom yet, but I'm sure it would be effective in some way. Check it out and let me know what you think!

    How public is it? I will check it out, but it seems like maybe it could be useful for a prinicipal to keep in touch with teachers. Also, could it be used for Professional Learning Communities? My thought was that maybe coaches could start online discussions related to learning communities and teachers could interact on the site when there is not time to meet as a group.

    Great idea! I was thinking on more of the students level, which I did see an idea from a teacher. One teacher had her students start with a web on their favorite part of Thanksgiving, then they created a "sticky note" to post on Wallwisher, along with all the students from the class. I thought that was kind of a neat idea!

    Maybe you can add this site to our course wiki??

    Isn't it amazing how many resources are out there for free? I'm constantly surprised and excited to find cool applications that could be used in the classroom. Unfortunately, I don't have the opportunity to use them with kids because I'm just a sub. :-( Wallwisher sounds cool. And I agree with Beth. It'd be great for professional communications. Kind of like a wiki, too but a different look that might be motivating for students.
