Paperless.

I'm trying to remember when I first became interested in integrating ICT into the classroom. It seemed to be such a logical way to go.

This year, however, I've tried to take it one stage further and go paperless.

The big thing for me has been time. Ok, it takes a while to get everything into an electronic format, but having done that, updating them is easy. We have a great intranet site at college and putting things onto that is simple enough. I think that just by e-mailing information out to my learners, I probably halved my photocopy bill and of course, I don't spend hours of my life waiting for a free photocopier (the downside is that I never get to see anyone now and miss out on all the gossip).

I've been looking at other ways of getting the learners to make sense of the learning and used a lot of Geoff Petty's ideas for that.

I'm now experimenting using forums, with Easter coming I thought that it would be a good way for learners to communicate while they're away, and that way collaborative projects don't suffer because of the hols.

Paperless Learning.

I'm working in further education and I'm currently reserching paperless learning.

If anyone has tried this and has any feedback for me, I would be really greatful to see it!
