Wallwisher

Hey everyone! I have created a Wallwisher wall. It is a simple webpage where we all can post our messages easily. Wallwisher is easy for kids to use and they can all "post stickies" on the wall related to the topic that I choose. For example, I made a wall titled Thanksgiving in which students can go to the site and post what they are thankful for. I am not teaching yet, so the scenario is made up. Try it! Go to @http://www.wallwisher.com/wall/igsanders and post your message there. Happy Posting!​

FAQ's (I took these from the FAQ page on wallwisher-you can read more once you're there) -Wallwisher is an Internet application that allows people to express their thoughts on a common topic easily. -Wallwisher can be private or shared. Some examples other than for a class posting site:
 * Personal note taking
 * To-do lists
 * Party Invitations
 * Feedback Collection
 * Wishing people on occasions, like birthdays, anniversaries
 * Anything that might need input from a lot of people, eg. a Mac Vs PC wall (that'll be a war, not a wall actually).

What are you thankful for? Ilene Sanders

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)!
