I have used it for a <u><i>brainstorm </i></u>of story starters. Here the class was asked to think of some story starters. Wallwisher has a 160 character limit for each comment/post that you leave on the wall<span style="font-size: x-small;">.</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfnyMcMM8dCjuYDGkGuP1kexJLDp_yqOLkAdYERn342Axw7mYiYHtNC2TOuD59URPI6CDYR-cbyDxDKTKj7koHxC0P6tIbiRqyyoVqJ1yuUG4HH8SRF423DP3ZQdNbbLOf6ZKbqj6A74U/s1600-h/image%25255B19%25255D.png"><img alt="image" border="0" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyFd2SQddJP7mf18Z6X57g2NDHRMehLt1bllVM5uFJI1Q4VIgQaXe3DIZ9ivzn96nQ5ozLSbjiozCmA5Krxwyk4gkRzntV9SnSBmfTWhXohIpLZqbctJjmYrkUAzMBee-vy5PqZ_kkZLI/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="400" /></a><br /><br />2.
