Doug Belshaw says

THIS WALL IS NOW LOCKED - THANKS FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS! :-)

Doug Belshaw says

Yes, you can make it so only you can access it. Can also embed it elsewhere! :-)

crafty184 says

Interesting concept.

skambalu says

Presumably you could if you had Skitch ...

skambalu says

This seems like a good idea ... but can you moderate comments?

misterel says

think I might be getting OCD..just tried to tidy this wall to see all the posts..LOL

Doug says

What about as lesson-by-lesson 'backchannel' for asking questions? Could review at end of the lesson! :-)

Doug says

You can lock it down via various parameters, Alan.

This is a bit too "open"? Either "anyone" or "only me" controls. Would be great to have a slightly more controlled environment. Neil

Hi Doug. Just popping by to see what this does. Neil

In spite of the annoying quotation marks, this would be really cool for a virtual chalk talk.

simfin says

where's banksy when you need him?

becki says

I'm spending way too much mental energy being annoyed by the quotation marks around people's names.

How do ypu prevent abuse of this site?

Can you lock a wall at the end of a lesson or take a snap shot to ensure that it is accurately captured?

msstewart says

funny quote list, student responses to reading, virtual word wall, lots of possibilities

Danny says

Students could post questions about topic areas they don't understand - (could be anonymous or named) for teacher to answer next lesson

Doug says

What does it do with a YouTube link?

didactylos says

Testing this idea out

Doug says

You can add various settings - I've allowed anyone to add!

didactylos says

Interesting, could do a session where different groups had different urls

Anonymous says

Could be used to create character sketches, build story openings, collaborate on planning topic work. I like it. Good find.

Didactylos says

So as long s you have the url you can add to the wall?

Matt says

Great idea - would be very good for collaborative projects - students could add their learning points/research points etc here. Like it.

Doug says

I was wondering if this could be used as a 'scratch pad' for students researching?

If you're reading these notes, please feel free to add your own to test it out!

Doug says

Obviously you could have walls for individual students, but what about around certain topics? :-)

Let's see what it does with a link to my website...
