Just yesterday...I was making copies in the Teacher's Lounge when I realized I'd made a mistake and forgot to double-side and staple the set! The practical upshot of this wasteful frenzy was the destruction of innocent paper.

Teachers go through reams of paper daily. I must plead guilty to laying waste to forests in my efforts to educate modern youth. Sadly, many of these sheets of decimated vegetation were used by students only temporarily, then discarded often bypassing the recycling bin in route to the landfill. But the tide of history is urging educators to alter their standard operating procedure. It's time to do a "Paperless Week".

This paperless approach has the potential to engage your students. Sound interesting? I thought so! Give a listen to Kristen Kovak...a paperless guru...the modern Lorax!
