Sheryl Dales on 01 Jul 11When it comes to educational technology, the great teacher isn't the one who merely uses technology in education. The great teacher is the one who experiments and who teaches the spirits within students to experiment. It's sad to see many teachers still thinking they are using technology with their classes but are still not getting it into the students hands.

Deb Sykes on 28 Aug 11When will the state catch up? It would be wonderful to concentrate on guiding students in self-inquiry through technology if our feet weren't mired in standardized testing.

Sara Rowe on 28 Aug 11I think it is very hard for teachers to trust new technology and give it to the students to use. The students are most likely ready and willing to try the technology, now we just have to jump on board.

Jennifer Rawlins on 28 Aug 11I think the districts need to provide more technology in the classroom in order for teachers to take advantage of the new technology to go paperless. I currently have two computers in my classroom and we do not have a computer lab.

Jennifer Rawlins on 28 Aug 11I know my district is in need of providing technology to teachers and students so that we can use technology more. It makes it more difficult when you only have two computers in the classroom and no computer lab for students to experiment.

Tara Liston on 29 Aug 11Sometimes its the fear of the teacher to let go- give the students the opportunities to try to use the technology! I still struggle with how do you go paperless at the early elementary level? Love to incorporate more technology and get it into my students hands!

This article had a great point about the use of Web 2.0. It isn't just that we progress to a new level and use the newer technologies. Rather, we allow them to be used as a tool by students to encourage them to become more engaged learners.

Articles like this make you think. Paperless? Is that the goal? I believe the goal is to help our students become better learners. Learners that can discover, adapt, create, communicate, lead and follow. Technology has a huge role in this. More than time to jump on board.

At the company I work at - we are paperless in handling claims and I do have to say it is nice. The system we use - you can mark pages, highlight, attach sticky notes, and several other options. It is a great system and can fax and email right from your desk - so if the paperless in school can correlate - it could be a great addition. I do think that when it is in teaching - you can lose the benefit of face to face, etc as well as penmanship could become a lost art.
