Registration requirements/To use:

Security Levels:
Who can view: "Everyone" or "Only me"
Who can post sticky notes: "Everyone" or "Only me"
Option to select "I want to approve every post before it shows up on the wall."

Pitfalls:

May struggle with multiple students adding simultaneous sticky notes - not a problem in roadtest
Students contributions are anonymous so when using with a class inappropriate comments are not traceable
If "everyone" is allowed to add sticky notes as when using it with a class or when a group of students are using it, ANYONE anywhere can add to it.
Text cannot be edited once added. To edit have to replace all text
