Talkwall is designed to facilitate learning conversations among students. It encourages genuine 'thinking together' by enabling students to easily share and build upon each other's ideas.
What is Talkwall?
Talkwall is a free and research-based tool for sharing short messages on a digital screen or smartboard.
The short message format supports oral activities and collaborative knowledge building.
- The teacher creates tasks and asks questions.
- Participants work individually, in groups, or as a whole class.
- Participants have access to each other's contributions and can build upon them.
- All contributions are displayed on a digital screen or whiteboard, and they can be organized, discussed, and further developed collectively
How to use Talkwall?
In collaboration with IDEA, we have developed videos that showcase the key features of Talkwall, including how to log in, add, edit, and delete contributions, zoom in and out on the board, and how to sort and filter ideas.
