Want to introduce something new to your class?Want to hear your students reflections? I am sure most of you do this from time to time, because it's always interesting to see what your students think about certain activities or tasks during the class.
There are tons of ways of doing it, and I would appreciate to hear your thoughts about your way of having students comment. Here is mine, a brand new way for my class.
http://www.wallwisher.com/wall/o8zaLrif8S
Wallwisher is really user friendly. The good point about Wallwisher is that you can easily use it with students having any proficiency level and students of any age. Students don’t have to have good command of using computers since it is very easy to use. I would recommend using Wallwisher for class discussions. You can also use Wallwisher for your students to evaluate the course or certain activities that you do during the course. The good point is that it can be anonymous, thus your students don’t need to worry to express their “true” feelings.

Whuhh;) I have to searcj and check it..Keep sharing ;) Cool!
Hi leman! I have missed you:-) Thanks for your comment! I used this in my previous classes and sent the link to my students today!
I am hoping to get some feedback from them. As soon as I get it I'll share it with you.
Do you have your students feedback from time to time about your classes or methodology???Or anything going on in the classroom?
Dear Karine,of course I am with you ;) and I missed you,too..Thanks for your kind words;)Hımmm..Actually I didn't do it but one of my colleague Victoria Kamchatka wrote about Comments Box;) It is very useful..They can express their positive and negative wishes..Because they sometimes can't express theirself by talking in front of the classroom. :)It is nice idea to hang Comment Box on the wall;) other thing is that :) one of my method that I also share it my blog..Secret Letters from students:) It works well,too.So, they can write their feeling easily ;)hope you like it;) keep writing ;)
It sounds intersting, I also have heard about comment box but never tried it myself. When I was volunteering in an NGO I used to have sticky paper with me. After some lessons I asked my students to draw a smilie face :-) (for like) :-( (for dislike) :-/ (I don't know).
It really worked well, and my students liked it very much!
Do your students type the secret letters??? Will it be a good idea to give it to my adult students???
hi Dear Karinev,Comment Box could be fine;)I have never tried,too.Could you please write smt about your NGO workings? I really interested about it..;)
yeah I had many but the one I never forget :)
One of my 5 year old students said that,,,Miss Leman I saw you in my dream yesterday,,You wore very lovely pink princess dress...Could you please wear it again tomorrow...:) It wasn't letter but she said it by whispering my ear;) Thanks to her! I love her!!!!!!!! ;)ıf you wanna read more , you can find the link and our friends comments,too;) Keep sharing;)

It's really cute!!! I don't teach kids at the moment but I had the experience before! About the NGO, it was PFCS (Professionals for Civil Society) I was volunteering as an English club teacher and I was teaching teenagers:-) A lot of challenge, but I loved it!
Those students were very special, they didn't really care about learning at that time, but they somehow enjoyed our club, there was a lot of games and fun!
I remember they even wrote me a small note at the end...that they like me, and you know...
Well, Miss Leman, this much so, far...maybe I should post more about the NGO, later?
Again, going back to the question, do you think having my adult students write secret letters is reasonable?
hi,
for students' reflection is good. Also karine' suggest is performable. Thanks for introducing "wallwisher", it's agood idea.
good sharings...
Heyyy!!Cute....I'm glad to hear this;)I appriciate you for this works;) amazing... and the question answer;I think could be cool to take letter from your adult students;)just try;) Keep sharing;)
I am glad you liked it! Who do you teach babakartal? You can also have some discussions there. it's really fun as long as all the students start to participate!
Hi lemanulas!
That really sounds cool, but I am so afraid of doing that? Do you have any further suggestions? How should I introduce it to my class?
I am a bit embarrased, should I have them type it? It's an interesting and new thing for me, but I have to think about it carefully, any suggestions?
