Week 11: Great Idea! Put It on a Post-It Note

Wallwisher is a website which allows users to post messages on an electronic bulletin board. This website gives you the ability to post a question and easily get feedback from your co-workers or students. Here are some suggestions for using Wallwisher:

• Brainstorm ideas before a unit (What do you know about the Great Depression?)
• Get ideas from staff about best teaching practices.
• Kids could post “sticky notes” recommending their favorite book.
• Answer a specific question: What types of mammals live in Washington State?

Your task for this week is to create a Wallwisher board. You may choose adults or students to respond. Once you create a board, you’ll need to either email or post the link to your SWIFT site. Instructions are on SharePoint, if you need them: How to Create a Wall for Student Comments

Assignment: In your comment below, please post the URL of your Wallwisher board (so we can click over and check it out--we won't participate unless you tell us to) along with any ideas or comments you might have regarding use of this tool.

P.S. Starting last night some teachers started having difficulty posting their comments. I'm not sure why this is happening since I can't recreate the problem from my computer. If you have troubles, AND they persist after shutting down and restarting, please let me know.
