      This point should help to "make the pitch" as district leaders love the prospect of saving money. Going paperless saves not only on textbooks, though. Reams of paper won't need to be consumed, saving on toner cartridges, service repairs to copiers, less frequent need to replace copiers. One investment for the ninth grade student lasts four years. insurance policy costs?

      Okay, but will there be an equity issue for some students when they are at home? You can't flip a classroom if some kids have sketchy dial-up access from home, or no internet access.

    Part of the pitch to go paperless, to some degree within the district, or just BFA. Good budgetary motivation for the Elephant.

      More than one department from one school? Curriculum sharing between different schools in different districts? This is the true target of authentic collaboration and PLNs.
  • The Virtual Library of Instruction (11) hosts many excellent unit plans designed at the University of Georgia's by Dr. Peter Smagorinsky's secondary English majors. Scroll down to see units listed by grade. Titles listed in pink are the best.

  • Some of the sites I discovered were created by college professors and might be too difficult for students who are not academically gifted. Nonetheless, there are treasures here
  • Technology still hasn't solved the biggest time crunch: reading, responding, and grading essays. "And let me tell you," she laughs, "My grading inbox is frightening." Nor does technology alleviate the need for her presence "They want me there, commenting. But I can't always be there as much as I want to be."

      WriteToLearn and similar grading software (Intelligent Essay Assessor, Criterion) will become an option for teachers to grade elements of an essay that can be "counted".
