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.
