Wallwisher - Students post investigative questions

Goal: Students will be able to post their investigative questions for the Science Companion Light Unit as well as post responses and answers. (both to their own posts and to others' posts)



Outcome: Wallwisher has great potential for classroom use but also has some limitations. I set up five computers in the classroom so that multiple students could post questions at the same time, but later discovered that only one computer can be logged onto the website at a time and all the posts were deleted even though they appeared to be working. Another problem was that the students could only edit their own posts, which meant that they were unable to answer other students' questions.

Due to these frustrations, the students became less excited about the website and the number of posts dwindled. I'm still searching for an alternative web tool.
