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 - the best version of Wallwisher ever. This version is quicker, slicker and now has full iPad support. Here are some reasons I am very fond of using WallWisher to build digital word walls for teaching and learning:
- Build a collaborative wall without logging in.
- Add images, video and links to the wall.
- Create one place for resources, available 24/7.
- Give students a voice and a place to express themselves using a variety of multimedia.
- Embed a WallWisher wall into a wiki, blog or website.
- Enjoy Wallwisher Yubi for the iPad.

Hi,
ReplyWant to thank you for your wonderful descriptions and useful tools.
What do you think about Lino-It?
I think it's a very nicely designed and intuitive tool. You used it yourself. What's the diff?
Hi. Thanks for reading my blog! Actually I do like Lino-It and am especially drawn to the colorful stickies. I have used it often for professional development. I've been using Wallwisher a bit more lately because I find it is less confusing for younger students because the notes are easier to place appropriately on the board. Both tools work well for me.
