practicing the strategies on paper when computers aren't available

One of the brick walls many non-core teachers face is the lack of computer availability. My partner and I brainstormed ways to mimic/practice blogging when the lab is reserved by someone else. Two possibilities included:

• Have students write a paragraph and pass around their paragraph, requiring 4 students to comment on the paper.
  
• Create a hallway bulletin board on which text sources are displayed. There, students publish their "posts," and comments are attached to the bulletin board.

Of course, this would just be practice until that opportunity to use computers arises and the students get the chance to blog for real.
