The proposed project Operation: Paperless, would allow students to utilize the school provided iPads to the fullest extent. The stylus are much easier to use when writing on the iPad and are perfect for note taking and drawing. The alternative is writing with one’s finger, which makes the work messy and often illegible. Using the pens allows the student to continue practicing handwriting skills, including cursive writing. Many students have lost these skills over the years because most of what was done on computers was typing but with the touch screen iPads. Each class would have access to use the pens, and with a class set, every student would have one to use. Having the ability to take notes, complete labs, and journals on the iPad would reduce the use of paper and the unfortunate occurrence of papers lost in the school bag.
Increased student engagement is anticipated. Student’s enjoy using the pens and are more likely to take notes on the iPad with a pen. The pen allows the writing to be neat and easy to read when studying. Paperless notes are easy access to because it is all saved on the iPad and Internet access isn’t required for students to view their saved notes.
Going paperless will make it easier for students to keep track of and turn in assignments. All too often students forget to complete assignments because the paper is lost in their school bag. Assignments are also not turned in because the student can’t find it at the right time. Paperless work can be submitted as it is completed and is saved on the iPad and make getting work to students who are absent a breeze. All in all, going paperless-or mostly paperless- will improve the academic success of the students.
