Wiffiti

Wiffiti: "publishes real time messages to screens in thousands of locations from jumbotrons to jukeboxes, bars to bowling alleys and cafes to colleges. You can interact with Wiffiti from your mobile phone or the web."



If you want to share what you've been reading, following the directions at the top of the Wiffiti. (If you have a limited number of texts/month, use them responsibly.) Also, please keep your responses school appropriate!

Teachers, here are some ideas for use Wiffiti in the classroom:
  • brainstorming
  • receive answers to homework questions
  • receive answers to in-class questions
  • field trip or museum visit observations
  • create sentences in foreign languages classes using target vocabulary or grammatical structure
  • Imagine the possibilities!

Here is a nice disclaimer about cell phone use that I found on the JoeWoodOnline blog:

"I believe students can use cell phones as a learning tool. Think of a teacher you know who hates cell phones. If you post inappropriate or off-topic messages, you will be proving that person right and me wrong...and your phones will be disappearing forever in your pockets."
