The program allows each pupil to connect to the same ‘wall’ in which to anonymously post their ‘virtual post-it note’. This is beneficial because it can collect information quickly from a class and present them in an attractive manner, as there is also an option for customisation of the wall and post-its. zaraodriscoll https://padlet.com/zaraodriscoll/fgtey339wzk7/wish/204931164 2017-11-08 17:11:43 UTC https://padlet.com/zaraodriscoll/fgtey339wzk7/wish/204931164 Other researchers (Perez, & Liza, 2011) seem to agree that Wallwisher is great for, ’sharing ideas’ making it advantageous in displaying class discussion, reflections or making comparative walls of ‘What I would like to Know’ prior to a lesson, and ‘What I have learned’ after a lesson.
