Another web tool similar to Web Logs!!!

 Have you ever heard of WallWisher.....?!?!? 

 It's another tool that allows the posting of thoughts or feelings on a specific subject or topic, pretty much an online bulletin. 
  • Top uses of WallWisher: 
  • To allow students to participate in a collaborative conversation.
  • To brainstorm an idea.
  • To allow students to access discussions and ideas after lectures
  • To provide an interactive area that incorporates text, audio and visual materials.
  • To assess students’ understandings of a concept.
  • To enable students’ to summarize their understanding of learning in a limited number of characters.
  • To make lectures/ workshops interactive through students responding using mobile devices that have internet accessibility.
  • To allow lecturers to adapt their inputs in response to student feedback.
  • To make inputs participatory rather than passive.  
  • To allow students to contribute synchronously or asynchronously to the learning conversation. 
Here's an example below..... do you find this interesting? I wanted to share. Especially because I just learned about this type of application.

    A friend of mine used this in classes. It seemed like a very interesting website with great potential. I never tried it out myself, but she showed me some of the work. ot seemed like a very interesting way to get students to respond to class. I can see it being utilized across the subjects as well. It's very similar to different activities I know I and other teachers have employed using chart paper and sticky notes. I've no doubt the idea is inspired from this actually, digitized and with all the potential that comes with digital tools!

    I am assuming you used Padlet.com? It is very cool that you can access Padlet.com from a desktop, laptops, tablets and smartphones. It is so easy to add text, pictures and videos.

    I wanted to see how this could be used for first graders, so I did a little research on Padlet and found a great site that it looks like someone used to train teachers on digital learning.

    With a little help from these resources, I have lots of great ideas for young students. Padlet is so easy, I know my kids can do it.

    Thanks for sharing.
