The average class uses 833 pieces of paper per student per year. If a school was to have 100 teachers, this would almost to 250,000 sheets of paper. The result of this? Thousands of dollars spent on just paper, not including the cost of printers, ink, toner and everything that comes along with the cost of handing out paper. If the sheer amount of paper being used isn’t enough to make you think in a more eco-friendly way, the electricity saved, CO2 emissions not given off might help you think otherwise. Educators that have taught through the pandemic know this is completely possible. If nothing else, the children we teach will be in an almost completely paperless and tech-driven world when they enter the work force. It is our responsibility to have them prepared for the future as best possible. In this video review, youtube and educator joyceclp breaks down how she has created a paperless classroom from scratch.
