I used wallwisher for a training I am doing with some elementary teachers--used it as a parking lot

dlourcey says

Here are some other interesting ideas I stumbled upon for classroom use.

jksuter says

Might be a good way for students to give feedback about a lesson.

TIS says

You can't stop profanity but you can approve messages before they are posted.

Weyrlady says

For community clubs to post meeting minutes, newsletters, and gather feedback from members
For FPC: tp post photo of the Month photos and gather feedback

Anonymous says

great use instead of sticky notes...

Weyrlady says

Gather comments on new public policy changes

JR says

I like the way you can click on a note to see it instead of constantly rearranging the notes.

Tricia says

Math assessment: Students create math problems for others to solve.

Tricia says

Have students record their favorite book & tell why.

misst says

I just found this site. I posted photos from a field trip and let my students post comments. I also had them post their favorite parts of the trip.

wsigele says

Students could vote for and give ideas to student councils regarding Spirit week, projects, even reflection of prior events.

cehyde9 says

Have students put story elements in order using "first, next, then, finally" for retelling.

dmantz7 says

This would be a good way for students to submit questions ahead of time for a guest speaker to prepare for and answer.

Sabrina says

Have students posts questions they want answered that arise during lesson.

russechd says

What if you pre-filled the wall with content and had the students organize them into "piles"...even venn-like would be cool. Several answers could apply.

Pam says

My students used it to record their end of term reflections

dj345 says

Use this for class note-taking where each group or student searches a different source or aspect of the topic.

Is there any way to stop profanity from appearing on these walls? I'm pretty sure I'd have a kid who'd try.

shannon says

How about as a more appealing version of Intel's visual ranking tool. No correlation tool, but much better interface. Worth exploring,,,

cindyn23 says

Students can comment on main characters/minor characters - in math they can comment how they solved a problem!

Cathy Crea says

Have students activate background knowledge by posting what they know about a topic prior to studying it.

cwebbtech says

Fine arts students who attended a performance would come to the wall and leave a critique of the perf. Students must use the music term. they studied in class.

mrdinhk says

Have used it to share student points of view after watching vid about cyberbullying

Write your message here

Kim says

Peer assessment: After reading a classmate's piece of writing, students can post feedback here. They could include a "gem" and an "opportunity" .

Karl says

Grab a "sicky?" That seems appropriate this year . . . :-)

I think photos/quotations/videos as writing prompts. Also as a graphic organizer for brainstorming

libraryms says

A current events wall -- Students post link to story AND a few sentences about how it appliles to current unit.
Or, as a "parking lot" where kids put ?s.

cristama says

I'm using it in class (blog wor past/present students)...students posting goals for the year.

melynntwit says

Visible learning "record" of internet safety (or anything):

Kat Staton says

Students can post their thoughts and opinions about a given topic. They can use this to collaborate and share ideas. There are lots of possibilities!

summersj says

use photos as writing prompts

Theresa G says

Create idea for brainstorming and categorizing and organizing!

Carissajun says

I used this in class. I had the students write a post it about something they were masters at, or something they were struggling with, and then we sorted them

jbrogley says

I would think would be great for brainstorming ideas or organizing thought.

kyteacher says

Students can brainstorm ideas about a topic, then categorize. Good for teaching writing skills, etc.

Lee says

You can create a themed wall and embed videos for students to watch and then comment on.

Lee says

Help me build a wall here on applications for the classroom.

Just double-click on the wall to grab a sicky.
