Wallwishing

Isn't student engagement what we all wish for? Students can get tired of the same old thing, which can lead to disengagement.  Wallwisher is an easy online tool that can be used in many different ways. It is so easy, in fact, you don't even have to create an account to use it!

To access a "wall," go to http://wallwisher.com/ and follow these steps:

1. Click "Build a Wall" in the top right hand corner.

 

2. You will be asked to provide your name and email address.

3. Give your wall a name that will be listed in the URL. It can be anything! Just type in the field after the given URL. Choose your privacy settings listed below.

4. Choose a picture for your wall and Give it a title.

Wallwisher will then email you a message with the link to your wall.  To add to it, just double click anywhere on the wall.  Refresh your page as people add to it.

How can you use this in your classroom?  Here are a few ideas:
1. Reflection
2. Brainstorming
3. Student created scoring guides
4. Collaborative writing
5. Feedback
6. Questioning
