Wallwisher - an easy Webtool

This year I've completed an intensive course online entitled "Formação em Linha: das ferramentas à sua utilização com alunos de Inglês". One of the collaborative tasks I had to undertake was to build a Wallwisher. But, what on hell's name is a Wallwisher?

What is wallwisher?
Wallwisher is an Internet application that allows people to express their thoughts on a common topic easily.

What is a wall?
A wall is basically the 'web page' where people actually post messages.

What can I do with Wallwisher?
You can use wallwisher for:

■Personal note taking

■To-do lists

■Party Invitations

■Feedback Collection

■Wishing people on occasions, like birthdays, anniversaries

■Anything that might need input from a lot of people, eg. a Mac Vs PC wall (that'll be a war, not a wall actually).

Anyway, I've decided to put the idea into practice with my own pupils. Here is the result with two walls built by two different classes of the nineth grade from Escola Secundária Fernando Namora. They are still in progress until 31th May, but I couldn't resist...
