Sue Rockwood at the “No Matter, There” blog has had a go at the paper blogging activity, adding her own ideas to the activity such as a “blog board” which makes for a colourful and interactive display. Her own insights into why paper-based simulations serve as a useful tool in demonstrating and explaining technology concepts, and her own ideas (e.g. for a paper-based “safe chat” simulation), are worth reading, and it’s great to hear her feedback on how the activity went for her classes.
Great stuff, Sue! If anyone else is interested in having a go at a paper based simulation of social software, you might like to read Sue’s posts for some great ideas.

Leonard: Jaiku is a bit like paperblogging on the net… 😉
Maybe this is something you should look into if you already havent…

Thank you for your kind comments! I love this exercise!
I extended this experience by having a pair of students (on the sly) post troll-like comments on their own blogs. When other students noticed them, I told them they were “troll” comments and had them research what trolls were and how to react to trolls.
We’re ignoring trolls and no longer allowing anonymous comments. 😉

Great to see another example of the ‘paper blog’
I will be trying this exercise later this month and will blog my results also.
Thanks

Nice one. I’ve used the idea many times myself alerted to it by Marg when I was at flnw.wikispaces.com last year……http://www.nswlearnscope.com/paper-blogging
Cool concept – works well with new-to-the-fold.
Hope you too are well. can you ask Marg to give me a call when she gets a chance. Hows the Mlearning 07 conference shaping up ?
