Going Paperless!

So far this school year I have vowed to be completely paperless. I have made a wikipage with all my documents that will be made available to all students at anytime; I'm hoping that I will no longer have to wait in line for the copy machine (fingers are crossed). The IT at my school also made a folder for every teacher that students can drop their assignments in. Only the owner of the folder (the teacher) has full rights to the documents in the folder so cheating does not create a problem. The students will also have the option of turning in work via email. All students grades 7-12 are given a state-approved email on the secured system. We are a one-to-one computer school where the teachers have tablets. I love inking on student papers! I no longer have to take folders of papers home to correct. I just grab my tablet...it's all there! I find that immediate feedback is way more possible...not to mention that my desk is cleaner! I'll let you know how it's going.
