A great resource for teachers and students alike is WallWisher (WallWisher.com). Seeing as we’re living in the Facebook era, most of students will be very comfortable viewing postings on the internet and commenting on them. Connecting this into lessons is a great way to spark student interest. This website works by having students post “stickies” on any subject that the teacher assigns. The other students then have the opportunity to post comments on the stickies. This would be a great tool for character analysis of a text: The teacher could create a sticky for each character and then assign the students to share their comments on the various characters, or character descriptions. Because there is a short word limit on each posting, the students will not feel overwhelmed by the content. The site is a great way to include technology into any lesson and for the students to share their ideas and opinions.
