I have been wanting to write about Wallwisher since learning about it during a workshop this past spring. Wallwisher is basically an online message board maker– kind of reminds me of the message boards we all had hanging on our dorm doors at college, except this is virtual and no special markers needed! One of the nice features of Wallwisher is that there is no registration needed and once you create a board all that is needed is for members to click, write and post- very simple, very intuitive, very fun! Once you create your message board you are given the URL for that board to share with people who you want to invite to comment on your board. I have used this as a way to have students make comments/respond to specific articles/topics. I also hope to use this as one of our wiki assignments this year. To initiate class discussion it is very effective to present the message board using the SMART Board. I should also mention that in addition to writing a response participants can also add videos, pictures and music to a post. Also be aware that there is an option that allows you to preview any posts before applying them ot your wall- YEAH! Below is an example of a Wallwisher. ENJOY!
