www.wiffiti.com Allows students to
“write” comments on a wall (called screens)
Submissions can be sent by text message or typed directly
![Page 4: BYOT in the Science Classroom](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070416/568151f4550346895dc02cee/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Students formed expert groups on review topics for an upcoming test
Each group posted important info about their topic on a Wiffiti screen
Groups presented their screens to the class
Classmates identified inaccuracies and posted suggested improvements
Completed screens were posted in ANGEL (online course management tool)

Teacher must have an account to set up screens (free and easy registration)
Screens were set up in advance.
Text codes for screens were listed on the board.
Laptops were available for each group.

Students’ responses are anonymous, so there is no fear of embarrassment
Images can be posted on the screen (students must use the laptop to do this)
High levels of student engagement

Students without short-code texting on their phones were unable to text in responses. However, they could type them directly on the website.
Site has to be refreshed frequently, so students can see all postings
Only the most recent 6-7 postings are shown on the screen. To view all postings, you have to click on the Timeline view.
The creator of the screen is the only one who can delete a posting
![Page 8: BYOT in the Science Classroom](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070416/568151f4550346895dc02cee/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Remind students that they cannot delete postings from screens they didn’t create
Students can post on other groups’ screens – discourage this…unless you want it!
During screen set up, choose G rating
ALWAYS have a back-up plan!
