And Away We Go!

When I first became a teacher, I realized that paper shuffling is a major part of an English teacher's life. I also realized that much of that paper shuffling could easily be handled by simply moving many activities and assignments online. So, I vowed that within five years I'd have a paperless classroom.*

Back in August I found out that I'd received a grant for a classroom set of netbooks. They've arrived, and we're just beginning to get ourselves set up. It should be an adventure. 

Onward!

*"Paperless" here means that I cut back on the tree slaughter, not that we don't write papers anymore. That first one is a noble goal. That second one is just plumb silly.
