Paper and Pencil Curriculum

"Paper and Pencil Curriculum: How much Do you Rely on It?" is a great article.  Schools rely on paper so much its ridiculous.  I, myself, am constantly printing and copying worksheets for my students.  It's just a way of life, or is it?  the article brings up some great points.  "What would schools do if all of the sudden there wasn't any more paper? Can a teacher teach without handing out a single piece of paper? Can students learn without scribbling on paper? How would they learn?"  If I had to teach without paper, I would find a different job.  Honestly, teacher's do not get paid enough as it is, and now I'm having to figure out how to teach a curriculum without paper.  I couldn't do it.  Unless I was given time to create a new curriculum, that was paid, I wouldn't change my paper filled routine.  Not a chance. 

I actually would use the computers more often if I could be assured that all the computers were working properly.  The problem I have at school, is that when I take my students to the lab, it is a waste of time.  Half of the computers do not work, or is missing something.  Programs aren't installed properly on the computers so some of the sites students need to access aren't working.  Uhhh, it's just a pain so I prefer paper.
