Last Friday, Ms. Kumagawa assigned a photocopy password to every staff member at Clairlea. The aim is to save money, reduce paper consumption and reduce our dependency on the regular photocopiers by forcing us all to be accountable. The more efficient Risograph copier does not require a password to use. Staff are already making a point of using the Risograph. We all need to make photocopies throughout the week, but the aim is to make use of new technologies (Smartboards, computers, blogs, etc.) along with notebooks, texts, chalkboards, whiteboards, and various teaching strategies that do not require copious amounts of worksheets.It took Ms. Kumagawa some time to get the passwords entered, but her efforts will be worthwhile as we all look to reduce paper consumption at our school.
