Okay. It's time. School is about to be back in session, and one of the issues at HS is PAPER. As in, we don't have enough. Normally folks line up for weeks at a time shoving their precious handouts in the xerox, gobbling up time and money. My time, HS's money. (I am confident that your school, too, has many cultural norms when it comes to the copy machine... time limit? sharing is caring? clean up your jams? horde paper for scarce times?)
So, I rolled out a new paradigm. Yeah, me and everyone else in the world. GOOGLE DOCS. I am super skeptical about Google doc's privacy and copyright rules. But the lure of making a totally easy to maintain inventory of anything I ever cared to ask? Good bye, hard copy syllabus verification sheets that I tack to the back of my five page syllabus. Good bye, reams of paper I collect with contact info only to throw it out in June. Hello, GoogleDocs. Yes, I will use the forms to get your info. And, it's free! (I don't really think it is) I highly suggest you use google docs to track textbook signouts, field trips, student info. whatEVER. Bonus, you can download an app to your phone and have your stuff with you everywhere. I have ALL my materials in the cloud. So much for boycotting the cloud.
