No. I do not think that an entirely paperless classroom would be appropriate for all classrooms. Technology is a wonderful tool and I believe in its role within the educational system as long as it serves a purpose. But sometimes it does not. There are many ways to teach a subject, and it all depends on the nature of the course.
Some subjects that are already heavily text based, such as language arts, seem appropriate but others may not be such an easy fit. What do you think about a paperless art or music class?
Well, their are already online art classes that are paperless. I think its a good idea to have a paperless art class. Although, I know that students taking online art class have paper projects that they scan or photograph and then post for credit. So, I don't think its reasonable for art class to go completely paperless. However, I think music class could easily go paperless. The music book could be replaced by a lightweight glare-free screen with music information programmed into it.
