What is ....Wallwisher? Wallwisher is a Web 2.0 tool that acts like a big bulletin board. Users are able to double click on the canvas and add a sticky note which could include a thought, an image a link and more.
Uses in education. There are many possible uses in education for Wallwisher. Here are just a few that you might be able to use:
1. Brainstorming. The teacher can pose a question or a discussion point and students can respond via Wallwisher. This is a great way to gather a number of different ideas and viewpoints on any topic.
2. Timelines. This can be done in a number of ways. The teacher can create a timeline on the Wallwisher canvas, along with a jumbled list of events. The student can go to the Wallwisher and arrange the events on the proper place on the Wall. Once the page is refreshed the items get jumbled up again.
The teacher can also have the student create the timeline.
3. The Wall can also be used as a place to gather resources. Maybe a class is doing some research, and the students can collaborate on the possible resources. Students can place links to resources directly on the wall and everyone can have access.
Why Wallwisher. Wallwisher is a very easy tool to use. The steps to set up a wall are straight forward and simple to follow. Students do not have to use the wall in class. This is something that could be required to complete outside of class, or you can use it in a lab or in the classroom.
