Primary Wall

You may think Primary Wall is geared a little more toward the elementary side of teaching, and to that, I shall channel my inner Lee Corso and say, "No so fast, my friend." Content literacy is an integral part of instruction at any level of education, and this tool provides an easy and effective means of promoting it. Primary Wall is basically nothing more than a cutesy background picture on which you can post and edit little digital sticky notes. That's it really. However, the cool thing about it is that the sticky notes are broken into sections for a title, comments, and an author.

How does it work in the classroom?

The fact that these "walls" can be shared and constantly edited make Primary Wall very useful while students are still learning new terms and ideas. Teachers can create digital word walls for each individual project and have a space for students to see each word and a definition for the word. Oh, and if anyone would like to edit the wall, they can put their name on it at the end in the box for the author's name.
