Wall+Wisher

After much research and playing with a variety of Web 2.0 tools, I found Wallwisher to be easily accessible and very purposeful for my classroom. Wallwisher is a site that allows students and teachers to collaborate with each other about various topics. It is a place where students can go and interact with one another and work together to complete a common task (assignment questions, steps and process for solving problems, study for test, review topics, etc.) will be academically helpful. I have created a few different walls that could and will be used within my classroom, starting next year. I have developed one for each content area that I will be teaching next year, as for now, and then a homepage for all students to access, but not post on. In my various walls I showed how students could be great resources for each other. When students access a page they can click anywhere and type, on a “stick note”, what ever they need assistance on. As for the teacher, you can read what all the students are discussing and you can reflect on your teachings and re-address any issues that many be commonly misunderstood by the class. It also allows the opportunity for different resources and sites to be posted. For example, I posted the site for the Summer Skills Set that my students can access if they have lost their copy or are looking for answers. Please visit my Walls and reflect of post any advice or feedback you may have (on my homepage)!
