useful for classroom use as well. "Corkboard Me" allows students to collaborate on any number of activities such as responding to a video or book, brainstorming for a group project, listing job allocations for group work or any number of other simple tasks. The beauty of this particular tool is that it is free (although you can subscribe, pay and then customise your corkboard) and it requires no log in -you can be using it in literally 1 click! Many web tools, while useful and attractive, can take time to learn how to use effectively. Often you must subscribe and pay a fee to be able to utilise the tool. I will continue to look for more ways to utilise Corkboard Me in the future.
I like it! great way for anonymous opinions to get posted as well. This is especially great if they are helpful in some way.

The corkboard also interests me as an example of how we struggle to know how to best comprehend and represent the new possibilities that Web 2.0 makes available. Here, for example, a very old-fashioned 'notice board' metaphor is used with pen-and-paper technologies still very much to the fore with the post-it notes design.
