Wallwisher is a free online notice board that is just as easy as using a real corkboard and sticky notes. You simply click “Write Post” and a new sticky note appears, ready for your note. There is a 160 character limit, but that is a common standard for mobile texts and applications like Twitter.

You can also attach images, music, videos, and links to your notes. It is intuitive like a real notice board—you can drag, drop, or rearrange your posts easily. Different colour options will allow you a board filled with vibrant posts. No user registration is required, but registration is recommended for creating a private notice board.

There are many creative uses of Wallwisher in the classroom. For example, you can simulate a real notice board by posting announcements or classroom rules. Some ideas from SeanBanville.com include posting new vocabulary, debate topics, exam practice sites, or video tasks for students. For students, they can use Wallwisher to brainstorm topics, post poetry (great for Haiku), or engage in collaborative story telling by using the previous student’s post as their lead.
