Wallwisher

Wallwisher ([|www.wallwisher.com]) is an interactive website that gets student feedback instantly on any topic you throw out there. You can create multiple pages based on the application. Below is an example of how it looks. The default name is Anonymous, so students can type in a first name or nickname for you to identify the feedback and user. Once something is posted to Wallwisher it cannot be removed, therefore advise students to make wise choices when it comes to posting their comments.

Ideas could be when teaching the following, have students with laptops in the classroom or in the computer lab:
 * Predictions: while reading a book pause to have students type in a prediction
 * Character traits: Discussing a character or biographical figure, request students to post specific traits of the individual and support of that trait
 * Context clues: Read an unknown word to the class and have the students determine the meaning of the word based on the clues embedded in the text
 * Draw Conclusions: students have to match up information provided by the author with what they know to form a conclusion about an event or character
 * Authors Purpose: provide various forms of text and students will identify the purpose of the writing
