This is the reincarnation of Wallwisher -- more colorful and vibrant, and still being adapted to new uses. Most recently I've seen Padlet (like Post-its for the Web) used as a way to collect interesting learning tools by crowd-sourcing.

R. Stannard has created a tutorial for wallwisher.com, now called "Padlet" This tool is nice for creating a visually oriented board of notes where students can tell others what they are doing, for example, on a project; or to keep interesting photos and weblinks.

Wallwisher can be used to post messages to someone or several people, but it can also be used for educational purposes. The page works like a set of sticky notes. In this page, Nik Peachey has asked teachers to collect resources or links to good Web 2.0 tools. It will take some time to go through them all. The disadvantage is that there is no inherent organizational method. New messages pop up wherever, sometimes even over other messages. But it might be great fun to have a class of students or student-teachers try it out and collect resources for you. For example, you could have students look for good Grammar sites on the Web, then have them explore each other's and write "comments" in another Wall wisher post.

Help crowd source this WallWisher/Padlet with information about iPads for education. Read and join in.

This is a tutorial on how to get started at Learni.st, which lets you aggregate neat things you find on the Web. You can add it to your Facebook timeline (or not), Tweet it, and use images and video, while adding a few paragraphs on how to use the "learning" you added. As with a blog, others can comment on your contributions. Like WallWisher or Pinterist, items are collected bulletin board style. This tool might be useful for professional development, and for students as a means to collect Web items for a project. If being an archivist is an important part of the new Web, this might be a helpful visual tool.

I usually don't like lists, but this one also has suggestions for using the apps with students. Info on the Wallwisher update, Padlet; infographics made easy; Thinglink for graphics; Aurasma for creating QR codes with objects, rthaer than a square, and so on.

An online notice board, mind-mapper, brainstormer, etc. You can add images, music, video, Webpages, etc., collaboratively.
