Wallwisher.com

This afternoon we watched several videos about social networking, then we defined what is was as a group. The purpose of spending time defining new concepts supports the brain research that states in order to learn we need to attach the new concept with prior knowledge. The next step was getting into groups of 3 and go to www.wallwisher.com and create at least 6 'post-it-notes' about our thoughts. Finally, we organized our thoughts into categories, since brain research shows this is how our brains work to retrieve information. It's a cool and easy site to use...check it out:)

    This looks interesting. I created an account but didn't get farther than this. You'll have to share your great knowledge with me.
    Thanks,

  3. What a great site. Can this be linked to a school web page so parents can see the things students are doing in class?
