Paperless Classes

I believe paperless classes would change my role as teacher to more of a facilatator. Students would have more opportunity to share what they are thinking. As an elementary teacher, I would have to teach the students each of the tools they would be using.

Paperless clases change learning by allowing students more advantages in their assignments. Students do not only type their paper, but they can add pictures, audio, video, etc. to help enhance their paper. It also changes where and how students view their assignments. Students can find everything online and at any time. Teachers can measure learning by the students papers and discussions. Students are still responsible to show what they are learning and thinking through discussions and papers.

I think a paperless classroom would make it easier to build a learning network because everything is stored online and can be shared with anyone. Students can also connect with other peers online if needed.
