BP9_Linoit

Linoit is a program where you can leave sticky notes for multiple users to respond, or as a private reminder board for yourself, accessible at any computer.  I can see using Linoit to prompt Art discussions, such as the one I began, in order to have students think about Art outside of school.  Students could create accounts or they could post as guests.  This would be a good informal assessment after a lesson was done to see what students retained or as an opening activity to see what information students already know before you begin a lesson.  This could also be a way to gain anonymous feedback from students about your class.  You can post images, documents, or videos to get responses as well.  Linoit could also be a conduit for students to post videos, documents, or images to get responses, and collaborate in groups or as a class.  

Linoit could also be used to brainstorm and to use the sticky notes to create mind maps.  Linoit could help a teacher to keep track of meetings and duties during the week, because deadlines and alarms can be set on the stickies.  Linoit could also be used as a "parking lot" for parents to post concerns or questions, of a non-private matter, or to request conferences.  Linoit could also be used as "parking lot" for students to post questions about homework, or other assignments, outside of class.  The interface is very simple to use and there are basic tutorials, set up for your first "canvas".  The availability of this program away from your home computer, makes it a worthwhile sticky program to consider using.
