Lecture with Noteboards
- Have students post what they felt were the top3-5 most important point from your lecture.
- Post your lecture notes on the wall ahead of time and for homework have students place notes in chronological order and then print off when completed. You might also have students place lecture notes in order of what they feel are most important.
- Have students find an article that relates to your lecture and post a link to it on a wall
- Have students find a website that relates to your lecture and have students post it on a wall
- Have students find a video and embed it or post a link to the video on your wall.
- Create a discussion about your lecture notes providing an area for students to ask questions (Similar to Back-Channel Chat)
- Have students discuss ways to turn your lecture into a project.
- Create video tasks for students to post responses to.
Brainstorming
- Can be used to elicit things students might not want to express in front of the class – they can post anonymously.
- Brainstorming writing topics – Add a comment to each later.
- Brainstorm ideas for what to do in tomorrow’s class / that ten minutes last thing on a Friday / as the next project…
- “Five things each please” – Wallwisher means all students can have time to contribute five things each (or whatever number the teacher decides) to a brainstorming session. This could take a day or two and means quieter students contribute equally.
- Picture ideas – Students could post images instead of words as part of the brainstorming session.
- Images – students write about images the teacher posts on the wall.
- Writing activities – Wallwisher has a 160 character limit for each comment/post that you leave on the wall. Which is, in a way, a good thing! It allows for short story/collaborative projects, essay plans, note-taking, memos, poems, etc… the writing possibilities are endless!
- Brainstorming activities – This is a great ice breaker for the beginning of class! And better yet, it’s a great way to post a homework assignment/food for thought for that evening and then discuss it the next day.
