Paper Blogging
I've been very frustrated lately that I do not have enough computers or iPads for my first graders to begin blogging on. My school reading consultant suggested a way for my students to get the benefits of blogging without having the technology. She suggested a class message board where the students could post messages using paper and push pins. How old school, but better then nothing I guess! Then when the technology in my school is in working order the kids will have some background on just what blogging actually is. It's still frustrating that by having to blog on paper my students won't be meeting any of the NETS for students. I did find this video on YouTube showing a class using what they called Paper Blogging.

It is great to see this video and how the students are creating, sharing, and engaging in multiple forms of literacy. Can you show this in class in what will be our 15-minute "Sharing and Caring" activities that will start classes? If so, you'll need to remind me, if I forget to remind you, or you'll just remember, anyway.
ReplyDeleteI think that this is an awesome idea! I too share in your frustrations about the lack of technology for individual student use! With that being said, I do agree that it's better than nothing. When students do have the opportunity to regularly blogg and interact with technology, at least they will have already wrapped their mind around the purpose and routines.
