 Wallwisher is a free tool that allows you to create online walls.  Teachers need to visit http://www.wallwisher.com/build and create an account. Students simply double-click the wall and type in their  message or response on a virtual post it note.  A message is limited to 160 characters.  Here is a video that shows you how to get started with Wallwisher.

Once you have created your wall you can embed it to your blog by creating a hyperlink. We are unable to embed it any other way because the embed code that Wallwisher gives you has an iframe in it and unfortunately WordPress doesn’t accept it.

I  have created this wall today and posted it on the Year 3 blog. I’m looking forward to seeing what questions the children produce and if  they like using it.
