My technology principal hero (other than my husband) is Greg Farr.  He’s started a task to create a paperless office.  Instead of handing teachers a giant notebook filled with information at the beginning of school, he will be handing them all a thumb drive loaded with information.  I love this idea for 3 reasons:  1.  no killing trees  2. teachers who are reluctant to use technology are forced to at least learn how to plug a thumb drive into a USB and click it open  3.  it’s cool.   So, in order to emulate this paperless approach, I decided to stop printing out agendas to take to meetings.  Instead I will put it on my Palm.  (I’m not sure if this is a technological revelation or not for most, but it is for me.)   I’m going to try to keep Mr. Farr’s paperless philosophy in mind as I work.  But I can’t quite give up my yellow legal pads, though.
