=Cool Tool: Padlet (formerly WallWisher)= This free tool can be used to enhance an online class meeting or to set up as an assignment for students to contribute to during within an online module. It's basically an online bulletin board where students can create sticky notes that go on a wall for everyone to view. They can respond to questions, leave comments or questions, and contribute to a conversation. It basically acts as a way to facilitate conversation and communication among the class. The instructor can monitor the comments which can be made anonymously or with their identities revealed (which I always choose to do with a class assignment). It is a great tool to summarize learning as well. Here is an example of a Padlet used in an online class meeting. media type="custom" key="22719932"
