FAQ about 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 make Pizza by frying 20 grams of Wallwisher in Evian mineral water. Other than that, 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).


What if I just want a private wall?
Yes you can set a wall to be private. In that case only you can see or add notes to the wall. Ideal for personal stuff like things-to-do.

Do I need to sign up to make a wall?
No you don’t need to. You can start building a wall straight away. We will, however, need your email address. A temporary account will be created for you using your email address so that you can come back and make changes to the wall. You can use this account for all your subsequent visits to this site, or if you dislike us so much, keep using the site as a stranger.

Do people need an account to post on a wall?
Nope

How much does it cost?
Its kinda expensive.. After all the taxes are taken into account, the whole thing costs 32*2 – 16*4 = $0;

What is this Google logging thingy?
As you know, Google is trying to take over the world. One of the ways it wants to do that is by allowing Google users to use their Google accounts to log into external services. This saves you from keeping 20,000 different accounts, and makes Google more powerful (if that was possible).

How safe is my information?
It is extremely safe. The floppy disks that we use to store your data are kept in climate-controlled enclosures behind bullet proof glass. On a more serious note, yes, it is safe. We value your security as we value ours. If you log in through Google or OpenID, your password is not stored on our machines. Now who are we to question Google or OpenID on security? When you have a native Wallwisher account, first, we don’t ask you for any personal information other than your name or email, and our programmers here make sure that too is kept "bullet proof". Happy now?

How do I post on the wall?
Double click anywhere on the wall, buddy..!

Why do some names have quotes around them while some don’t?
A quoted name means the user is not registered with Wallwisher.

When I move stickies, some are moved permanently while some are not. Why so?
That is cos you can move a sticky permanently only if:
You created the wall
You posted the sticky note
If you try to move any other message, it moves for you only for that session. This is necessary to ensure that you are able to enjoy all the features of a wall (dragging etc), without making permanent changes to anyone else’s post.

Why the 160 character limit on text?
We are not trying to copy Twitter, we swear. Basically when we ran our private beta, a jerk hijacked the whole wall pretty much by copy pasting some news articles for the heck of it. We also realized that people were not reading large chunks of text anyway. A 160 character limit, a standard for SMS on cell phones, was thus introduced so that in a way the page is auto moderated to have a meaningful input from a user.

Que Sara Sara ..My Awesome Learners and Me by cikgu liza

My ICT challenge for today is to start a wallwisher and I did! I intend to introduce it to my Year 5 Amir tomorrow and see how they respond to it. But I have also talked about it in my edmodo so I guess most of them will be exploring it on their own tonight. That was my point. ..teasing their mind to make them learn on their own and then share it with friends later.

We'll see how when I blog about this again , soon.

My Talking Blog

I just can't help feeling so ticklish inside when I tried this application for a talking blog. First, I thought it is cool, but once everything is done and I tested to listen to it , I realised that it is a voice of a man. Ohhh... I wanted a woman's voice. And it is very funny when some of the words are actually expressions and the male voice was struggling pronouncing it like this one L O L and h m m m ...Hahaha!
But still, I am not going to remove the application. Let it be there and I might one day find a solution to change the voice :-)

Any of you who would like to try , go and visit www.odiogo.com

Good luck.

Edmodo iPhone App

Edmodo iPhone App

Edmodo + my students + me = Excitement

I love the discussions going on in my Edmodo. I can't hide my excitement anymore ! These kids are moving faster than I thought. And I realised here , by reading their posts and observing their actions in Edmodo, you know, the way they communicate and give comments, that they are now very confident in using the technology and the language itself. I am addicted to check on Edmodo now every half an hour to see what's new. LOL ..

Tongue Twisters

My Tongue Twisters for the weekend homework :
1. The blue bluebird blinks.
2. Britney Blossom brought bright blue balloons from the lightly lit bazaar.
3. When Crabby Crab crept close by, clever Clam Clipper clasped its shell and closed it tightly.

hahaha!

This is part of the assignment I had given to my Year 5 Amir for this weekend. Their task is to create 2 tongue twisters on their own using the words with initial 'bl', 'br' and 'cl'. However, if they get stuck and fail to be productive, they are free to explore the net and copy some. Their findings will be shared in their edmodo page. I'll share them here once they are done :-)

Maybe I can have them saying the tongue twisters here one day next week . hmmmmm...
