Wallwisher
Wallwisher is a Web 2.0 free online tool where anyone can build a “wall”. Students can then go onto the Internet and stick post-it notes electronically onto your wall. The notes can include linked pictures, You Tube videos, PowerPoints, PDF documents, Excel Spreadsheets, or web page links.
