● Wallwisher
What is it about?
● Wallwisher is an online noticeboard maker. You can use this wall to make
announcements, to keep notes, to paste to-do lists or to collect needed information
posted from your friends.
Why is the content good for language learning?
How might you use it in a language teaching context?
● First, I would have students work in group of 5, and they can build a wall together.
● Then, according to the topic they learn, I would have them find related videos, images
or articles, and write a brief summary about each of the materials they find (each post
with no more than 160 characters).
● I would also use it as a reflective writing about what they learn in class. They can post
as many notes as they want and they can embed the link in the blog to keep the notes
so that they can review the notes they take, or the information they find in class.
● After they finish the activities, students of other groups can go to the walls other groups
make and read what they post.
● Some simple activities like making sentences by using phrases, vocabulary or grammar
they learn in class. They can make a story by posting their ideas, too.
Limitations~
● Share your wall.
● Below is the example. I embedded my wall here.
