good start to last day

The first session this morning was put on by our own Super Nerd (I say that with the highest regard), Jason Neiffer. The topic at hand was the idea of PAPERLESS CLASSROOMS; a novel idea, to say the least.

As I have the pleasure of working with Neiffer, I was aware of his experiments over the course of this year, but it was interesting hearing the details, successes, failures and so on.

A couple things I learned:

• PAPERLESS doesn't mean ZERO paper....just an attempt to reduce waste as much as possible
• Note taking is not dead in this paperless environment
• Kids might think idea is strange initially, but ill more than likely adapt and adjust
• While tech is great, there will always be a place for hard-copied material
• Neiffer REALLY, REALLY likes office supplies :-)

Very well done and interesting session. I truly like the idea of PAPERLESS and will work on transforming my classroom.

I did write down the link for Neiffer's notes, but I must have made a mistake, because it isn't working. I will get that in later. Check back!
