Paper Less Teaching???

4:38 PM | Labels: , ,


Now this is a idea that I think we need to look further into.  Paperless Teaching, can we do it?

I know that the state of Florida has decided to go paperless.. but, that means, post it on their website and expect everyone to read the information.  But, here is the kicker.. the memo's on the website instruct the teachers to "document" all progress monitoring.  This made me laugh, they expect us to "document" using ... yep you guessed it.  PAPER! How many trees are we cutting down for this?  What do you think the principal does with the "memo" from the Department of Education? Yep he makes a copy of it and puts one in each teacher box.  We have got to get better than this.  SAVE THE TREES!   

Well, I came across a great educational blog that is tackling this issue called "Teach Paperless"

http://teachpaperless.blogspot.com/

This blog even has a mission statement:

MISSION STATEMENT

The objective of TeachPaperless is to help classroom teachers merge Green Thinking and Interactive Technology into their everyday classroom experience. The result is a classroom that not only only uses zero paper, but that recognizes and utilizes the best features of the growing Internet to extend learning opportunities to students. Furthermore, we want to see students benefit from and gain experience in real-life problem solving, task determination, and creative thinking through total immersion in an authentic 21st century digital workspace.

Check it out.. maybe we can make a difference and be Paperless!
