Wallwisher in Action - In Leadership Class

Mrs. Cooney decided to look into implementing a wallwisher activity in her leadership course.  She wanted to have her students look at the characteristics of what it takes to be a good and bad leader.  So, she created two different walls.  One of them had the question, "What do you think is an example of a good leader?"  Students had to think about the discussion that they had in class prior, and had to create a 'sticky note'.  This note needed an explanation of their choice of a great leader, followed by included some sort of media to support their statement.  This could have been done either with the use of a picture or a YouTube video.  The other wall had the same concept however, it was deemed for examples of bad leaders.

The best part of this application is that the wall can be made in about 5 minutes and can be public for anyone to see.  It is important to know though that Mrs. Cooney made a point to only allow a 'sticky note' to appear with owner approval.  (As a side note, it was important that full names were not disclosed for safety sake since this wall is public.)

This application can be used in many different situations.  If you would like to bounce ideas as to how you can use this in your curriculum, you know where to find me!

Great work Cooney!
