Great tool to maintain engagement

Community Review for Mural - Visual Collaboration
My Take
I find it really helps to maintain student engagement and not just because it's interactive. I like how you can bring your audience to different areas of the white board using the 'summon everyone' function, and move between delivering material with 'presentation mode' and interactive exercises where students contribute ideas or suggestions.
How I Use It
I've used Mural extensively over the last two years, I've trained using the tool and I've run hundreds of participative workshops with it too. I've learned what works and what doesn't and consolidated it all (along with best practice tips) in to this short course: https://www.udemy.com/course/2020-mural-masterclass-supercharge-your-vi…

Easy to use board to make notes and add graphics. Can organize notes around a topic and arrange them in any order.
Mural.ly is easy to use and can be a useful aid for the visual learner. Good for ELLs to connect vocabulary with a picture for better understanding. Good for students who need key ideas or elements of a "text" to be extracted from the whole so they may see the parts.

It's like an interactive corkboard that can be used as a presentation, much like Prezi with less motion sickness!
Mural.ly allows users to save text, images and video on a zooming Prezi-style board, but is much more akin to a literal interpretation of Pinterest’s pinboard. My students are able to create something like a flowchart to display what they have learned. Videos, graphics, and websites can be included in an exciting visual display. Students set up an account and can invite other students to collaborate on the same project. Teachers can set up a mural.ly and invite select groups of students to work on it. This project has applications for any subject and is easily embedded into Wikiprojects or other websites.
