Stick It To The (Virtual) Wall!

Ever been to an inservice, seminar, professional development session, yada-yada-yada where you sit with folks at a table, make a bullet list of summaries on a GIANT piece of paper, then stick it on a wall for all to see?

How about this variation: The wall is bare and your table has a deck of Post-It notes. Each of you write something on a Post-It note, then stick it on a "Parking Lot" (typically on a wall for all to see)?

You get the idea...

Here's a virtual alternative:

Check it out, leave a note. Give it a try at your next session. I'll bet some of you might even use it an a virtual wall for posting "exit passes" at the conclusion of a lesson (hint)!
