Teaching Without Paper

_notregistered/art_1035_2786b3fd49~.jpg
In January of 2008 I was asked by Lorelle van Fossen to write a post for Edublogs Magazine. I had a short humorous post about a broken copy machine and my frustration. I added a few touches here and there and had my guest post for the online mag. Well, since then I have really learned to teach without paper. I've modified curriculum and innovated strategies that utilize A/V and interactive tools (like white boards) to achieve more than paper ever did. EDI is a great method to use in a paperless lesson. Do I need to add it's a "green" direction? That seems to be everybody's concern these days. If interested, the source of EDI and more information is at Data Works.

To give you an idea what a day without paper looks like, here's an example of a day I've taught -the grade level is 4th-:

8:50-9:50 EDI Lesson - Figurative Language. Materials: LCD, computer, whiteboards, dry erase markers - No Paper

9:50-10:30 Test Prep - Backward map of test data. Materials: LCD, computer, whiteboards, dry erase markers - No Paper

10:45-11:45 EDI Lesson - Capitalization. Materials: LCD, computer, whiteboards, dry erase markers - No Paper

11:45-12:20 Test Prep - Backward map of test data. Materials: LCD, computer, whiteboards, dry erase markers - No Paper

1:00-2:20 Geometry Lesson - Materials: LCD, computer, whiteboards, dry erase markers - No Paper

2:35-3:10 Test Prep - Backward map of test data. Materials: LCD, computer, whiteboards, dry erase markers - No Paper

I hope that gave you some ideas.

Now it's your turn. How do you teach without paper? If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed for this blog.  You can find all my other stuff in one place at Riley Central
