Web-Based Sticky Note Tools…

If you are tired of buying sticky notes—or watching them fall off your students’ presentation boards J—then you may want to try Primary Wall (http://primarywall.com/). Primary Wall is a Web-Based sticky note tool that allows students to create walls, post sticky notes, collaborate with other students, and automatically generate Wordles from the sticky notes…WITHOUT creating individual student accounts!

Similar sites include “Wall Wisher” (http://www.wallwisher.com/) and “Stixy”                                                        (http://www.stixy.com/). However, my students have found Primary Wall easier to use than these other sites. Click below for printable station directions to use/modify and laminate.
