Wallwisher

     In this blog, I will be addressing "Wallwisher". This is a site where you can post your answers to a question with "sticky notes".




     I used the same question "Where did you see Math today?"  I think that I like this site better than AnswerGarden to get feedback for this question because the students can write more.  With AnswerGarden, they were limited to something like 20 characters.  Even though I didn't do it in my blogs, AnswerGarden and Wallwisher can be used for brainstorming.

Answergarden

     In this blog I will be addressing "AnswerGarden". This is a tool where I ask/"plant" a question to "grow" answers. This is a feedback tool.


Where did you see "Math" today?... at AnswerGarden.ch.


     I  went to answergarden.ch/ to create an account to get feedback from my class.  The question that I asked was, "Where did you see Math today?"  I want my students to recognize that Math is everywhere in daily life.  This will make Math more relevant for them.  By doing this activity, students will be on the lookout for Math.  By reading what their classmates put on this site might expand their "Math world".
