Wallwisher is a web bulletin board where you can post a question or topic. Then students or adults can easily add "sticky notes" responding to the topic of the page you create. Some teachers use them to poll people about, for example, how people in the real world use math. My idea was to have each student post a note on a science unit, and together the class has an online study guide. ||  ||   ||
