My adult classes have been paperless mostly due to technology and the discussions we have. However, I still struggle with making my children and teen classes completely paperless. I have limited the paper trail by bringing in my own laptop and Iphone. The children love this! We also play language games not on the computer. I love reading your blog. It is very inspiring.Shelly Terrellhttp://teacherbootcamp.edublogs.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029419017923677229.post-238749198647834192009-12-19T12:00:01.919-05:002009-12-19T12:00:01.919-05:00I teach in Montreal(Quebec, Canada) and read your ...I teach in Montreal(Quebec, Canada) and read your blog for inspiration and support. I am especially interested in the move to the paperless classroom and with my wikis and blogs, have made great strides in achieving my goal. Next year my high school is diving into the 1:1 laptop initiative but only with the grade 7 class. It's a pilot project. My role will change next year and I will be partly in the classroom and partly the 'ed-tech' teacher for the teachers. Any topic related to these subjects are very interesting. The biggest challenge will be getting the technophobes 'on board'. Suggestions, ideas and experience in this area would be helpful.Daryl Bambichttp://www.dabambic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029419017923677229.post-34460392972289514982009-12-19T06:47:21.660-05:002009-12-19T06:47:21.660-05:00One term that can is begining to take meaning is C...One term that can is begining to take meaning is Cloud Learning Environment – examples include Google Apps for Educational Institutions. This is paperless, boundary or borderless and also the control of the learning environment is with the learners and academics.<br /><br />I have detailed my recent experiences and that of my students with Google Apps / Cloud Learning Environment here:<br /><br />http://edublend.blogspot.com/2009/12/cloud-learning-environment-what-it-is.htmlManish Malikhttp://edublend.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
