The New Sticky Notes: Mural

Mural is the newest, collaborative way to use sticky notes. Not only does it use sticky notes, but it is also a meeting platform where people across the globe can work together in a fun, learning environment.

What is Mural?

An online workplace

A meeting or classroom

A quiet, or sometimes loud, thinking spot

A collaborative pin board

Why use Mural in the classroom?

Mural is a great tool for teachers to incorporate into their classrooms, especially if they are virtual. Mural is something new and exciting; it is a fun way to motivate students than the average online classroom. Teachers can design their mural however they want to. There is room for everything!

Mural makes organization easy. It allows teachers to make lists, graphs, diagrams, and much more with a click of a single button.

Students and teachers can be in the same mural at any time. There is a chat room for students that have any questions they want to be answered by their teacher.

Mural allows students to write feedback on sticky notes. Students can double click anywhere to place a sticky note. They can answer or ask questions for their teacher to see.
