 [|Wallwisher]is fantastic interactive resoruce. That can be used in a variety of ways, the main purpose of the wallwisher is that messages can be added to the same 'wall' by different computers. In the classroom it gives children the opportunity to express their opionons clearly. Such as what they would like to learn in a topic/term or lesson of work. Wallwisher can also be used by teachers when planning a topic or set of work to gather and organise ideas.

Here is an example of the wallwisher our ICT option module group creatd before starting. It was very easy to use and I could see how children would find it engaging for them to see visablly there ideas/ feelings being expressed in thsi way.
