Paperless Office

If your students are trying to reduce paper use in your classroom, it’s time they taught the administrative staff a little lesson about going paper-less. Of course, it’s highly unlikely you’ll be able to get them to go completely paperless, but with a few simple tips they can probably cut their use in half - not a small amount at most school. Have your students’ conduct an initial survey with the staff asking how much paper they use had what types of things they print. Back in the classroom, have the students brainstorm ways that the staff could reduce their use of paper. Some of the most important steps they can take include printing on both sides of the paper, not printing e-mails, and trying to keep documents digital instead of printing them. Then have the kids make signs that can be posted to remind staff of these quick tips.
