Wallwisher is a free site that allows you to create a wall that others can then post sticky notes on. You can create an account on Wallwisher, or you can create a wall without having an account. Two benefits of having an account (other than them being free) is that you can moderate sticky notes and that all of your walls are saved on your account. I use Wallwisher as a way to assess student learning by using a "virtual exit ticket". I will post something I want students to respond to on a Wallwisher wall. Then I link the wall onto my FirstClass website. I set up a few computers and students take turns accessing the wall to post their stickies.
Here is a wall I recently used with 5th graders. They are responding to a question I posted after our first CyberSafety lesson.
Wallwisher could also be used to generate ideas. For example, they could use it to generate questions or to suggests areas for study or books to add to your library.
If you want help setting up a Wallwisher account, or using Wallwisher in your class- let me know!
