Digital Bulletin Boards

Digital bulletin boards appear to fit the changing needs of our 21st Century students. Today most students want information to be available 24/7 and digital bulletin boards are another way that teachers can extend the school day beyond the traditional classroom. Because of WallWisher’s limitation of characters I would probably create walls for: homework, inspirational quotes, class reminders, brief discussions, or FAQs. (Teachers might even create digital bulletins for parents.) High school students are often capable of great ideas and discussion; here is simply another venue for communication (and collective intelligence). 

Safer Driving Bulletin Board


Texting while driving increases the risk of an accident 23.2 times over unimpaired driving.

Each year before the prom season begins I take a few days and focus on the dangers of texting while driving. This year’s digital bulletin board encourages students to “pledge” not to text and drive.
