Ahhh!!! Two years ago, my school joined with some other schools in our county on the road to 1:1; all of our freshman were given Ipads. I must admit it was difficult! Using electronic devices with urban kids on a daily basis was a headache, but I'll admit, they really made be a better teacher! Not only did we use technology a lot, but we also started Project/Problem Based Learning!
At the end of the year, our principal sent out several files and links on paperless and flipped classrooms. I will admit that I am not ready for flipped classrooms, but I think that this year I will attempt to go paperless. I have fears though! Will the interactions and collaboration that is the focus/heartbeat of my classroom change due to using computers for everything??
I am currently doing research on what it will take to have a paperless classroom and it seems like a lot. I want to scream (see above). Has anyone taken the challenge to be paperless? It it really that hard?
In addition to going paperless, I am going to have to learn to use a Chromebook instead of the Ipad that I have gotten used to. I tell my students all the time that if you can use one device then you can use any device, so we will surely see?
Any advice on going paperless would be great!!
