Paperless+Classroom

The session discussed what would be necessary to run a paperless classroom. Key components include a LMS (they recommended Moodle but Blackboard would be superior for Wyoming) as well as a way for students to create, save, and share work. The presenters recommended Google Docs because it allowed students to collaborate and share ideas in real time.

Notably they discussed getting a CMP or Classroom Management Program to use to help teachers monitor student posts to wikis, blogs, etc. These sites will pull the posts to one central location to allow the teacher to monitor the posts. The site which was recommended was Netvibes.
