My class are currently looking at ‘Persuasive writing’ in our Literacy unit of work and to bring some life to it I thought of how to combine some web 2.0 tools at my disposal so as to create a fun and creative environment for class. That’s when I decided to bring together wallwisher and mapmsg. Wallwisher lets you post stickies that contain text, images, audio, videos and links. Mapmsg mashes up google maps with smoke messages. The following video demonstrates how to do it.

I posted this idea to twitter and as you can see from the wall below many teachers have responded.

I hope the idea will be of use to you and if it is, please let me know in the comments. How do you use wallwisher with your class? Have you used mapmsg before and if so, in what way?
