Our school supply budget is scheduled to be cut next year by a large sum of money so I’m doing additional research on moving to a paperless (or at least paper reduced) classroom.

This Prezi is an EXCELLENT start to help educators visualize what a paperless classroom might look like.

• Use Moodle, Edmodo, a website, blog, or share via Google Docs lists
• project information on the board
• use tools like GoAnimate, LiveScribe, screencast software, etc. to create mini-lectures

Assignments FROM students:

• collaborate via Google Docs, VoiceThread, Prezi, wikis
• presentations via Glogster, Prezi, Google Docs, VoiceThread
• basic assignments via Google Docs, Edmodo, Moodle
  • hand-written assignments can be scanned or photographed in order to still be submitted electronically
  • LiveScribe could be a good substitute
• quizzes via Quizlet, Moodle, Google Form, Edmodo

Considerations: students could need increased access to technology
