This document discusses the concept of a "paperless" classroom. It is introduced by Jason Neiffer, Curriculum Director at Montana Digital Academy, and Mike Agostinelli, a 6th grade teacher at Helena Public Schools. The document defines what "paperless" means, which is relying largely on digital means for communication and delivering classroom content using digital devices. It also defines what "paperless" does not mean, which is forcing others to go paperless if not ready or not using paper if it is more logical. The document lists justifications for going paperless such as reducing paper waste and shuffle while preparing students.
