Wallwisher is a free and user friendly online tool that allows users to create a digital wall of multimedia sticky notes. In addition to text, the notes can include images, links and videos. Create a wall, then invite others to add stickies.
In early June Wallwisher released a new and improved version of the tools, known as Wallwisher Senbazuru.   This version is quicker, slicker and now has full iPad support.
Ideas:
    1. Build a collaborative wall without logging in.
    2. Add images, video and links to the wall.
    3. Create one place for resources, available 24/7.
    4. Give students a voice and a place to express themselves using a variety of multimedia.
    5. Embed a WallWisher wall into a wiki, blog or website.
    6. Enjoy Wallwisher Yubi for the iPad.

BoomWriter is a great tool for creating collaborative stories as a class. Students can also share  what they know about a specific topic or unit of study.  Each student can add a chapter about what has been learned.  Students can essentially create their own collaborative textbook.

BoomWriter is a great tool to help students understand writing with purpose and audience in mind.  It is also a helpful way to get students to think critically about their own writing and evaluating other’s writing.
