Going Paper Free

We are now a 1 to 1 school so that means we should all be aiming to use less paper. In this new world of teaching and trying to stay at a safe distance the less paper we put into our hands and that of our students the better for all, by using Seesaw or Google Classroom it also means we teachers do not have to touch papers that our students have worked on nor do they have touch papers that have been on our hands. 

But how do we do this?  We should use Seesaw in all grades and Google Classroom in grade 3+. Students should be posting as much work as possible this way it makes it easier for you to grade and give feedback and it reduces unnecessary contact. We teachers should also be sharing worksheets this way instead of printing and handing out copies.

Is it going to be extra work for me?
Aside from approving the uploads from the students, which really does not take long. Plus there are already thousands of teacher-tested classroom activities available to inspire and engage your students. Therefore, you really do not need to do too much extra thinking or planning!

Say goodbye to endless printing and folders.
With Seesaw you can find, share, and organize work samples within Seesaw. This means everything can stay focused within one place. This is also good news because fewer worksheets = fewer worries when it comes to printing and dare I say, less marking, too!

Ok, I am feeling convinced, almost.
Because Seesaw works by students capturing and explaining their own work, it allows you to focus even more on your students. This gives you a chance to better understand their progress and give more differentiated instruction.
