An awesome teacher that I work with shared this great tool with me today…it is called Padlet (formerly Wallwisher).
This tool allows a teacher to create a wall that students can post onto. Each teacher can create a free account, but students would only need the link to the wall to be able to post on it. This would be a great tool to use for students brainstorming a concept or for a “Wonder Wall” or question board for students to ask questions they are wondering about the topic they are to begin studying. I think it would be good to include at the end of an introductory activity students have completed and they would navigate to the Padlet wall to post their thoughts or questions.
One thing I really like about this tool better than some others like it I have used previously is the ability for the teacher to moderate and approve student comments before they are posted on the wall.
Happy collaborating!
