7 - B - 1

A. Going paperless would change my role as a teacher...I would not say drastically, however I would have to do things a little different.  Before every math unit I print off packets that has the students class work, place for the students to take notes, homework and example sheets of problems.  I would have to think of an alternative way for the students to get all the information without using paper.  On the other hand, my school-to-parent connection is all done electronically using something called the 'Parent Portal.'  Parents can login into this page and read the announcements/updates/change in schedule/etc from their child's classroom teacher.  

B. Paperless class would change learning in my class because we would have to problem-solve ways on how the students would retain the information, take notes on the topic, complete math computations and many others aspects. With a paperless class all signs would lead to a Flipped Classroom with a lot of Web 2.0 tools and a variety of technologies included (laptops, tablets, etc).

C. Measuring learning would not look much different, obviously, the assessments would be paperless.  Which is fine because in my classroom I have a set of clickers, hand held device, that students can take the assessment with and it gives the students immediate feedback.  Also, whole group conversations and class discussions would be included in the students grades.  

D. I believe that a paperless classroom would make it easier to build a learning network.  With so much emphasis being placed on online communities, online class, online collaboration and social media would make it a lot easier to build a learning network.
