Collaborating with fridges …
Have you ever wished you and your students could collaborate online by …
- … sticking notes to fridges?
- … rearranging those notes?
- … commenting on these notes?
I know I have. So I was very excited when Opera Software introduced Unite into their browser. Unite offers several applications running in your browser. One of them is the Fridge, which let’s you collect notes from other surfers. (These surfers don’t need to surf with Opera, BTW.)
The only remaining problem was that I really don’t like to let my computer running when I’m not at home, so the Fridge would not be available for several hours per day. Add to that the different surfing habits of my students and you realise the problem: When the Fridge was available, no one but me was surfing. When the students were connected to the net, the Fridge was unavailable.
Luckily, there is Wallwisher. Accessible 24/7 and no need to keep my computer turned on. Just how I like it!
